Communicating a Termination to The Rest of the Team
HR friends, we've made the difficult decision to terminate an employee due to consistently low utilization and a few performance issues.
Due to the current economic situation, we don't want the remaining staff to worry about the security of their jobs when we inform them of this termination (we are a small design firm of 36 employees.)
Does anyone have guidance on the best possible language to use to deliver this messaging as well as guidance on what we are legally obligated to disclose/not disclose to the rest of the team?
Thanks - Amy
