Organizing a fair separation - with structure, empathy and attitude

Terminating an employee is undoubtedly one of the most challenging tasks for a manager. This eLearning training course will help you to conduct separation interviews responsibly, empathetically and with legal certainty - regardless of whether you are facing this challenge for the first time or want to improve your skills.


You will receive a well-founded and practical concept that will guide you step by step through the entire process: from the legal basics and personal preparation to conducting discussions and professional offboarding. You will learn how to communicate clearly and compassionately, avoid typical mistakes and stay in control of the conversation even in emotionally tense situations. The focus is not only on the factual structure, but also on the human dimension. After all, a respectfully conducted severance interview can be decisive for how a former employee remembers your company.


The training offers concrete formulation examples, reflection impulses and practical tips on preparing for the interview, formulating critical messages and following up. It also shows you how to avoid legal pitfalls and how to organize the offboarding process in such a way that everyone involved can leave with their heads held high.


With this course, you will strengthen your inner clarity, your communicative confidence and your attitude - for separation talks that remain professional, humane and fair despite all the gravity.

Who this course is for:

  • Managers & Team leaders, who need to conduct termination talks and maintain team morale.
  • HR Professionals, who handle legal and procedural aspects of employee terminations.
  • Business Owners, especially in small companies where HR responsibilities are shared.
