Frequently Asked Questions

How do you help us fire well?

We help leaders fire well by focusing on the three areas of an exit - preparation, conversation and aftercare (download the guide for more details).

What are the risks of firing an employee?

We live in a country where anyone can sue for any reason, and you have to defend any accusation. Firing well will limit a lawyer's excitement to take on a client - as there is less money in it for them.

Will you do the actual firing?

We will help coach leaders and managers on how to have the tough conversation, our goal is to teach you how to fish. We will join the meeting and assist, but part of being a leader is exiting people.

Is firing an underperforming team member my best option?

Firing is an action/topic littered with nuance, as no two situations are alike. In some cases, it is in the team’s best interest - and will prevent your business from facing major setbacks and negative impacts on team culture. Our Senior HR Professionals can help guide you through the process and stages of firing well.
