What The Firing Process Should Look Like

Layoffs were a key trend in 2023 particularly for the tech sector, and it looks like this has continued into 2024. Tech industry tracker Layoffs.fyi estimates more than 30,000 employees have been let go this year so far, and while that is a far cry from the nearly 90,000 laid off in January 2023, getting layoffed is never pleasant news.

A key theme that has come up with these layoffs, is how they were conducted, whether it was Google last year or more recently Lazada, so today on Resource Centre, we get into how the firing or layoff process should look like, especially for smaller companies, with Anisha Sasheendran, Founder and Managing Partner at One People Team - a HR advisory and training company.

Among other things, we’ll ask Anisha what should go into these conversations between an employer and an employee, whether there is such a thing as a human or ethical layoffs and if so, what it should look like, and challenges businesses typically face with talent management and retention.
