Handling a separation goes beyond just doing it in a legally defensive manner. Showing that the organization cares about exiting employees can take several different forms including:

• Planning what you will and will not say. 
• Coordinating the logistics so that you’ll be able to give helpful information to the exiting employee during the separation meeting. 
• Scheduling the separation meeting so the exiting employee has time to adjust to the job loss. 

This and much more in this episode.
