Before You Fire Someone… Watch This First

What do you do when a valued employee suddenly isn’t performing like they used to?

Missed deadlines. A change in attitude. Declining work quality. Unreliability. Sometimes you may even wonder if alcohol or drug use is part of the problem. It’s a difficult situation, and making the wrong decision can have lasting consequences for your employee, your team, and your business.

In this week’s Harvest Friday video, Harvesters Bill and Steve discuss how to approach employee performance issues with care, clarity, and confidence. HR expert Steve Cesare, Ph.D., shares practical guidance on evaluating the situation, having difficult conversations, and knowing what steps to take before deciding whether termination is the right move.

The best leaders don’t rush to judgment – they ask the right questions first. If you’re serious about Harvesting Your Potential, this conversation will help you handle one of leadership’s toughest responsibilities with confidence.
