[TRAINING] How to separate from redundant staff & facilitate a smooth exit

目标与内容 Objectives and Content

Let's face it! Times are getting tougher and the fat years are over. Every business now has to carefully review their headcount needs and potentially restructure or adjust the business size to the reduced demand of the market. This sometimes requires tough decisions which are difficult to communicate to the affected employees. In this workshop you will learn how to professionally confront a redundant employee with the message of having to leave the company. You will get prepared for the emotional reaction and how to negotiate a severance package in a fair way without overspending the company's budget while still making an attractive offer to the employee. We will also discuss the possibility of outplacement and similar services to help exiting employees to find a new job and feel supported. In times of increased employer branding and high attrition rates you do not want leaving employees to talk negatively about your company or alienate the remaining employees with poisoning comments and actions.
