E078 - Laying Off an Employee Respectfully and in a Humane Way with Wendy Sellers (E)
When firing someone, it's essential that you handle the situation with respect and dignity. It should also be done professionally, allowing them to maintain their self-respect and dignity.

Join this conversation with Wendy Sellers and learn how and why it is important to lay off an employee humanely, as this will help them move on from the situation and succeed in the future.

Notable Quotes
● HR people should help an organization from hiring to retirement and everything in
between. [08:37]
● Always communicate in your business and let the employees know your plans. If you
keep quiet and it becomes a rumor, the good people will leave to look for better jobs.
[20:33]
● Never lay off a well-performing and highly-paid employee in your team on the basis of you cutting the cost. It will backfire on you. [25:17]
● The more you help an employee who you have laid off and the more flexible you are with them, the nicer they are going to be to you. This means they will not sue you. In fact, they will come back to you or refer other people to you. [32:20]

Customer Reviews
Such wisdom and great convos on the podcast
The conversation with Jimmy Turner really resonated with me. The arrival fallacy is a common experience among healthcare professionals, and it's true that we often hesitate to ask for help when experiencing burnout. I completely agree that financial freedom is not a panacea when we lack fulfillment in our careers. Thank you for such an honest and genuine conversation!

Great Host
I just recorded a podcast with Dr. Parish. He’s insightful and easy to work with. I had a great experience and he’s one of those hosts that makes you think and leaves you with something of value.
