Staples isn't the only one - age discrimination lives!

See yourself or your managers in any of the language here? http://www.hrmorning.com/age-bias-cost-staples-how-much/ I am confident that Staples is not the only organization where this kind of thing occurs. $26M is a huge award to one person - think about what it will cost your company?

Fire over the phone?

In one sense, firing someone over the phone is a great way to set up a lawsuit . https://www.openforum.com/articles/firing-an-employee-over-the-phone/?extlink=of-syndication-sb-p But in other ways, if done privately and professionally, it can work. And it can be more personal than doing it on email. Terminations are never easy, but if you need help with them, email me at info@broadbandhr.com for a professional point of view on rightful terminations.

Wrongful termination

One of my favorite subjects. No, I'm not an attorney, and I don't play one on TV... But I do love to help companies lose employees in the best way - rightful termination. I've traditionally said that when one door closes, a window opens. I really believe that in terms of employment. When it is time to leave your employer, many people need a push. http://management.fortune.cnn.com/2013/02/22/wrongful-termination-employment/ And I like to ensure that people walking out of my clients are doing it with a bounce in their step, and not on the way to an attorney's office, which will cost a lost of money, time, and effort, and yield little in most cases. If you are an attorney with a wrongful termination case that you think is a winner, I'm happy to act as your HR Expert if it makes sense. If you are a company looking to lose some employees in the best way, I'm happy to work with you to build and execute the program that will be firm, fair, and avoid litigation. Email Info@Broadbandhr.com with your contact info and we'll talk.
