This is the second part of last weeks episode…on how to fire someone. Last week we talked about a few ways to get it wrong…and how to set it up so you wouldn’t have to fire someone…if you haven’t listened to that, I suggest you go back and take a listen. ….. But then a few of you reached out to ask about how to actually go about firing someone correctly…because they needed help with finding the right words and such. Thank you so much for reaching out! So, in this episode we will talk about all of that. Let’s just say, terminating someone is never easy…and it doesn’t get easier
Firing employees is one of the toughest things to do as the owner of a salon. We develop friendships with our team members…they become like family. However, you are a business owner and have to make business decisions. Just remember to keep feedback about behaviors…not every termination will end smoothly…in fact, most do not. But just keep your chin up. Do the right thing. The right people will find you and your salon…
