Dismissal Meeting According to (Dessler, 2000), dismissal meetings are convened by human resource managers when an employee or employees are leaving service. Dismissal meetings are always held on two important occasions. The first occasion being when an employee leaves service due to retirement while the other occasion is when an employee is terminated. Termination commonly occurs due to firing perhaps because the organization has established a need to downsize or when the employee is declared redundant (Armstrong & Armstrong, 2011). Downsizing or laying off is either a permanent or a short end of employment. Downsizing commonly affects a group of employees rather than a single employee. Downsizing mostly occurs for business reasons like when there is a business slow-down or perhaps when some positions are declared redundant. Workers who are affected by downsizing are usually referred to as laid off workers. Earlier on this term was taken to mean a temporary interference with work, but now it refers to a permanent end of work due to reasons that a company specifies. Laying off is a more particular term as it means a reduction in the number of employees. Downsizing is broad as it also includes reduction of the operations but just to improve efficiency (Bratton & Gold, 2000). In this paper, therefore, my aim is to discuss dismissal meeting that is held when laying off has occurred.
Ways through Which, a Manager, can use to cope with Emotions Accompanying Layoffs
Layoffs are usually turnaround strategies undertaken by a company’s management, but several emotions often accompany them. The management can use the following ways to cope with feelings (Edenborough, 2005).The dismissed employees will always act violently to the extent that they can revenge. These ways are therefore in place to overcome such acts
