Letting People Go
Have you ever been involved in a layoff or parted ways with an organization? If you have not experienced this, discuss a separation of employment experience you have heard about from a colleague or friend.
- Briefly indicate the circumstance and reasons for the separation.
- Include the industry and type of company, the employee role, the length of time the employee had worked there, and any other pertinent facts.
- How was the separation process handled by the manager and leadership?
- Indicate clearly which aspects of the process were handled well and which were managed poorly.
- Based on the people management skills you have gained in this course, what are two ways in which this difficult process could have been managed better?
