Surviving Your First Time Firing a Staff Member

Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!Today we are talking about surviving your first firing! When you start hiring staff, you don’t exactly think about how you might fire them, but at some point in your small business journey, terminating the employment of one of your team will be a reality, and let’s be honest, it won’t be fun.In this discussion we look at the emotional toll firing might have on you, and why this causes so many of us to put it off way longer than we should.Kristy-Lee also shares her expertise in the technical legal and compliance side of terminating staff, both within probation and beyond.We then look at what to do after the firing, both when it comes to the individual involved and the team.
