Terminating a family member

Terminating a family member can have more potential for drama within the family so this must be handled very carefully. Of course, as with any sensitive information, it is important to have the discussion with the employee privately. Perhaps, most importantly, be very honest and upfront with the employee so they have a complete understanding of the circumstances. If it is possible, give them feedback ahead of time so they are not completely surprised by the news. Because this is a family member, they may feel comfortable enough to say things that other employees will not so allow them to vent and process the news. It is important that the person terminating the family member remain calm and cordial. Offer them support and encouragement for their career (Tappero, n.d.).
