PODCAST: How to Treat Employees Like Humans – Even When You’re Firing Them

October 25, 2019 | by Eric B. Meyer

About a month ago, I shared a podcast from my FisherBroyles, LLP employment law partner, Jessica Brown Wilson, where she addressed how to create a sexual harassment policy.

Now, she’s back.

This time, she’s tackling a difficult issue: “How to Treat Employees Like Humans – Even When You’re Firing Them.” If you have some time today, maybe on your lunch break, I encourage you to listen (here). The episode is a little less than an hour and it’s free.

If you like what you hear and want to connect with Jessica, you can do so here on LinkedIn or by emailing her.
