A Critical Analysis of the Employees Separation Management Procedures with Regard to Organizational Stability in Kenya

Abstract

Proper management of employee separation is crucial in organizational success and stability. It involves inducing employees to take business risks and training them to deal with different times of austerity. This is so as to avoid lawsuits by the affected employees.

Employees may be laid off in order to cut costs. This can be done through layoffs, retrenchments, early retirements and other forms of separation. The effects of these separations can trigger reduced stock prices and other negative consequences. To avoid these, separations must be well managed and if possible avoided altogether. This can be done by reducing dissatisfaction and making sure there is good match between employees and the organization for example. If there must be separation, the benefits must be carefully examined to make sure that both the organization and the employees create a win - win situation.
