Terminating a worker’s employment is not only among the most difficult things employers must do, it's also a source of legal liability if handled badly. In the Successful Termination program from LearnKey, supervisors and managers will learn how to set expectations for their employees and manage their performance. This program utilizes the experience and expertise of attorney Gail Mautner, co-chair of the employment law practice group, to define instituting Progressive Discipline in cases of performance problems and how to pursue an organized, fair and legal termination process.
