Abstract

This article delves into the multifaceted process of terminating unproductive employees from the lens of human resources (HR) professionals. By examining the causes leading to such terminations, the legal and ethical considerations involved, and the impact on organizational culture and employee morale, we shed light on the delicate balance between productivity and compassion. Furthermore, the article provides actionable guidance for HR practitioners, including effective documentation strategies, clear communication techniques, and practical recommendations for navigating legal considerations and ethical dilemmas.
