The way you handle terminations can have far-reaching implications. A well-thought-out and executed termination makes your business run much smoother. A poorly prepared termination can cause litigation and low company morale which can end up tying up your time, energy, and money.

After making the difficult decision to fire an employee, you're faced with some tough questions. When and where should you do it? Who should be involved? What should be said?
