Firing an employee is one of the hardest moments in leadership, and one that most managers are never trained for.
In this HR Minute, Claudia St. John shares a real-world story that highlights a common mistake supervisors make during termination conversations: saying too much and getting pulled into defending the decision.
If an employee doesn’t see a termination coming, that’s often when employers are most vulnerable. Clear expectations, consistent documentation, and honest conversations before termination make all the difference.
If you’re a manager, business owner, or HR leader who dreads these conversations or wants to handle them the right way, this video is for you.
