In all probability, on occasions in the past you will have found it necessary to dismiss a competent employee. Dismissals are awkward situations. It is important that the individual in question feels that he/she receives fair treatment and a helping hand, for example, a good dialogue with an experienced professional who has his or her finger on the pulse regarding the market and growth segments and who knows where there is a demand for skills. A dialogue of this kind can help the employee either to realign his/her expectations or confirm that their career is moving in the right direction.
