Termination Processes
Termination processes refer to the structured approach to ending employment or contractual relationships within an organisation.
Goal
The goal is to manage the end of employment relationships in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of all parties involved, minimises disruption to ongoing projects, and ensures knowledge transfer and continuity.
Context
While every intent should be made to support employees in improving their performance and addressing any issues, there are times when termination is the best course of action. This could be due to poor performance, inappropriate behaviour, or changes in business needs.
