Termination & Layoff Support

Termination & Layoff Support

Navigate Tough Decisions with Confidence and Care

Letting someone go—whether it’s a single employee or part of a broader layoff—is one of the hardest parts of running a business. But when it’s necessary, it needs to be handled with clarity, legality, and compassion. My Termination & Layoff Support services are designed to guide you through these moments with confidence, compliance, and care—helping you protect your business while honoring the people involved.

Thoughtful, Compliant Termination Guidance

Ending someone’s employment is never easy—but it can be done respectfully and professionally. I’ll help you prepare and carry out the entire process, from documentation to the actual conversation. Together, we’ll ensure every step is legally sound, fair, and handled in a way that protects your team and your reputation.

Strategic, Human-Centered Layoff Planning

When your business needs to make hard changes, I help you design a layoff plan that makes sense for your operations and your people. That means planning every detail—from legal timelines to how messages are delivered. I offer support for you, your leadership team, and those affected, helping to reduce confusion and maintain trust through transparency and empathy.

Compliance without Guesswork

Terminations and layoffs come with real legal risk. I don’t offer legal advice, but I do make sure your HR process is clean, compliant, and well-documented. I’ll flag when you need to loop in legal counsel—yours or mine—and help you navigate requirements like WARN notices, anti-discrimination protections, and severance agreements with clarity.

Clear, Compassionate Communication

What you say—and how you say it—matters. I help you communicate with empathy and confidence, whether it’s drafting a termination letter, preparing a layoff script, or delivering tough news in a group setting. If you’re offering outplacement resources or support services, I’ll help you share those with care.

Severance and Benefits Support

I’ll help you put together a fair, legally compliant severance package that meets your goals and supports the employee’s transition. I also guide you through benefits continuation, like COBRA, and make sure the details are communicated clearly to avoid confusion or risk.

Documentation That Protects

Every step of a termination or layoff should be well-documented. I’ll make sure you have all the right paperwork—termination letters, exit interview notes, layoff memos, and internal communications—organized and stored in a way that protects your business and keeps you audit-ready.

Tailored to Fit Your Business

Whether you’re facing a single termination or restructuring a team, I don’t use cookie-cutter solutions. I take time to understand your business, your people, and your goals—so I can offer guidance that fits your exact situation, not someone else’s.

Continued Partnership

The impact of a layoff or termination doesn’t end when the meeting is over. I stay with you to help manage what comes next—rebuilding morale, retaining remaining staff, and moving forward with intention. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

So You Can Focus on What You Do Best

By trusting me to guide you through terminations and layoffs, you can stay focused on running your business and serving your community. I’ll handle the HR side of these tough transitions with the professionalism, care, and compliance you—and your team—deserve.
