Having to discipline, or worse, end an employment relationship is always difficult. Many employers think that just because they are in an “at will” state that they can fire anybody at any time. This is not the case.

It is absolutely critical you, the HR Professional, and your team understand how to approach these oftentimes tough situations. There are right and wrong ways to handle them. As an HR Professional, you will be involved in and even lead disciplinary procedures. The learning objective is to help Human Resources Pros like yourself partner with managers to handle two of the toughest workplace activities, disciplinary actions and terminations.

You are in the perfect position to ensure employees are treated with respect and your management team operates in both a compassionate and compliant manner. The more you know, the less stress and anxiety you’ll have to overcome. Plus, you’ll be better enabled to train your managers.
