I recently joined as HR in a small IT firm. My MD wants to fire some people who are not performing well. Is there any procedure to do this job smoothly without hurting them, because I joined recently (and I'm new to the HR field) and I don't want to sign a termination letter as my first duty! I have been given only 2 months to evaluate them and to terminate people. Are there any evaluation forms or procedures to do this professionally? How can I handle this situation? Most of the employees are freshers and young people!

Dear Rekha,
It doesn't matter how diplomatically you tell them; that will still mean that they are fired. Don't think about the fact that you have given them a job and you have to do it. Instead, what you should do is call them, counsel them, make them aware of the situation, and what is expected of them. Be very clear but soft while conveying the message of the management. Also, please inform them about the consequences if they don't meet the management's expectations. This way, they will be prepared for both scenarios (i.e., serious employees will try to make it up to the boss, and non-serious ones will search for new prospects); either way, they will be ready as the news of being fired will not come as a shock to them. If it comes to that, always ask for resignation from the employee instead of firing them. And yes, you are now eligible to sign on anyone's termination, but at this early stage, leave that for your boss unless given authority to do so.
Regards

Sorry for the spelling mistakes.
