You need to terminate Gregory, who has had a long-standing history of conflict with you and the staff, and who recently was charged with theft of patient belongings. You consult Human Resources, and together, you develop a plan, which includes:
a. A private meeting with Gregory, a Human Resources representative, and you to de-liver the news and deliver the termination notice and all other documents that are related.
b. Planning an opportunity for Gregory to return and be recognized at a staff fare-well.
c. Calling Gregory at home to tell him that he is fired and that his paperwork will be sent to him at a future date.
d. Calling him into a meeting in your office on the ward, where assistance is available, should he become upset or agitated.
A
Termination requires careful planning as to timing, privacy, safety, and how to preserve the em-ployee's dignity and avoid humiliation. Choosing a private location where colleagues are not present, and organizing all documentation that is required to be given to Gregory, achieves these goals and prevents his having to come to the organization at a future date.
