Employee Relations & Terminations

Employee relations is a tricky subject, encompassing everything from bullying and harassment to appropriately terminating an employee.

Some of the statistics on employee relations issues may surprise you as well. Did you know that 48% of employees report that they have experienced abusive behavior at work, and that managers spend at least 24%-60% of their time resolving employee relations problems?

​Terminations

Employees land in hot water for many reasons, some inexplicable to employers—some predictable. Some are a result of employees’ inappropriate expectations. Termination is a serious employment action that when initiated by the employer is generally the culmination of a series of progressive disciplinary actions. Sometimes, however, employees may need to be fired immediately by egregiously violating documented company policy. Let Audax HR assist you with avoiding many of the pitfalls employers face, such as retaliation, during the termination process.
