Layoffs & Terminations: 6 costly mistakes and how to prevent them
Almost half of the workforce leaves their jobs each year. Nearly 12% of those people are laid off or involuntarily terminated by their employer. Globally, that equates to an estimated 1.5 billion separations annually — with 375 million initiated by the employer. Given the volume of separations, companies need to know the costly mistakes that can turn into a lawsuit or destroy the corporate brand.
Join Jenny Dearborn, Chief People Officer, author and board member, and Sarah Rodehorst, Chief Executive Officer and Cofounder of Onwards HR, as they discuss 6 termination risks too big to ignore and fail-proof ways to reduce your risk. This timely discussion will be filled with real-world examples and data-backed insights.
Together we will discuss:
How to reduce costs and shorten processing timelines by 75%
How to improve compliance with employment laws
How to provide a positive employee exit experience that builds a culture of trust
