For the first time, and in one place, Roxi Bahar Hewertson provides decision makers at any supervisory level, exactly what they need to get it right every time they hire, develop, or fire someone.
In today's complex and competitive world of work, organizations simply cannot afford a mismatched new hire, a loss of top talent, or a dreaded bad 'goodbye' following a difficult termination. Whether working to avoid budget mayhem or preserving your company's image, learning how to navigate the hiring and firing process is a corporate essential.
Leadership expert and executive coach Roxi Bahar Hewertson provides insights and advice for avoiding these all-too-common business bumps in the road. She defines and explores the ARC employee life cycle: Acquisition (hire right), Retention (nurture right), Closure (fire right). Acquiring and retaining talent, and eventually bringing closure when employees leave, is a relational, not a transactional process.
Hire Right, Fire Right successfully guides decision makers through those key interactions with new and current employees arming leaders with a powerful set of tangible tools to help ensure their organizations are well equipped to take on these talent management challenges - and win.
By following Hewertson's three systems of hiring, developing, and terminating employees, decision makers will be empowered to:

  • Dramatically increase your company's success rate of hiring the right people for the right job
  • Measurably boost employee retention rates
  • Significantly lower the risk of lawsuits, arbitrations, and damage to your organization's reputation if things end badly

        The title definitely captures the essence of this book, but the subtitle gives a better hint toward the content. Retaining employees that an organization has spent time and money to hire and train is a common conundrum for managers; possibly second only to hiring the best and the brightest candidates. Hewertson (Lead Like It Matters) focuses on those topics in the book's first two sections--hiring and retention--presented in the form of roadmap diagrams that move through recommendations in each area. The section on hiring is effectively a workbook for the search process. The retention section walks readers through the lifecycle of employee development, from on-boarding to succession planning. Rather than following a roadmap, the section on firing offers suggestions for handling three types of departures: involuntary, voluntary, and layoffs. Each section is bolstered by multiple pages of worksheets and templates in the resources section. VERDICT Sound advice presented in a clear, easy-to-follow format. Hewerston's breadth of knowledge spanning many work environments shows through a variety of examples and case studies.--Sara Holder, Univ. of Illinois Libs., Champaign
