This chapter on hiring, in-service training, and termination presents practical information on the importance of correct ways of hiring and terminating workers for cause. Because of the bad economy where employers have used lack of funding in an organization to terminate workers, it’s wise to remember that workers have rights and that, even if funding isn’t as available as it has been in the past, termination must be done in a way that can be justified if a worker files a grievance or law suit. Up to 200,000 workers each year are terminated and have had their legal rights violated. Similarly, hiring can be an arduous process if it is done badly; practical information from the literature is provided to make hiring as scientific and accurate as it can ever be, realizing that there are limits even in the best hiring process. An example of a termination meeting with a worker is provided along with a case study of a badly functioning work unit with examples of how the manager is able to deal effectively with the many problems in her unit. Material is also presented on the importance of in-service training, and reference is made to Chapter 10 which shows how behavioral worker evaluations are done and how they afford organizations more protection from law suits and grievances if workers don’t meet standards and are terminated for cause. |
