Telling One that Their Job has been Eliminated, is No Easy Task

No matter how many times you have do it over the course of your career, delivering employment termination news to an employee is never easy, and can never be taken lightly.

Having an objective sounding board and third-party support for your HR team members and department managers, can go a long way to help ease the anxiety and tension on a difficult day.

Calm and Objective Support for HR Teams & Department Managers

Whether we help you on-site, or via video conference, CMS is always happy to assist you with sensitive meetings.

Working with your department managers and HR team members, CMS counsellors and coaches help to determine and plan the most compassionate approach for the employee’s exit from the organization.  In addition, we help to coach them through the general process, what to expect, and through those last minute worries and anxious moments that tend to creep in, just in advance of delivering the message.

Compassion and Respect for Your Outgoing Employees

It is difficult to know how an employment termination may affect your outgoing employee, and how it may affect their life outside of work.  That is why it is imperative that each meeting be handled with professionalism, compassion and respect.

Whether we meet with your outgoing employee on-site or via video conference, we will ensure that they leave your organization feeling fully supported by someone who cares about their personal circumstances, and that they understand that you are providing them with meaningful career transition support to help them move forward with their life and career, following that difficult day.

Having the opportunity to develop trust during this initial first meeting, no matter how difficult, goes a long way in developing a strong rapport for their CMS outplacement program going forward.

If you are an HR Leader and you think that help with sensitive employment termination meetings is something that may benefit your team, please contact me directly and I will pleased to support you through the process.
