Letting People Go: The People-Centered Approach to Firing and Laying Off Employees

If you manage people, you are probably responsible for fi ring them. The
central message of this book is that layoffs and fi rings have to be done
right. Layoffs and fi rings do happen. It’s just the way business is done.
But many companies mishandle terminations, resulting in lawsuits,
mass employee exodus, theft, loss of productivity, brand destruction,
and many other sicknesses. This book addresses both layoffs and fi rings
and describes how to perform them correctly. It also addresses the role
leadership plays in terminations and teaches readers how to have tough
conversations.
