Six reasons to dismiss an employee

I have been expelled two times in my life, knowing that the mood is very unpleasant after being opened. When young, like to make a fortune, the first was dismissed as a release of the ego, but gradually found that this is not responsible for their own, incidentally unemployed for 6 months.

Now I have opened a company to worry about the development of the team. Recruitment, is one of my favorite links, you can communicate with many people with ability, and invite insight into the team. Of course, it is inevitable to dismiss the staff, when the staff and the team or the company's development can not keep pace with, we will consider firing him.

In my company, we analyze our employees from 5 qualities and a key factor before we expel them, and we finally decide whether to dismiss them or not.

These five quality is the first to be considered before the dismissal of employees, if the staff has been missing some or all of the quality, we will be the most exasperating the most respectful way to "please out of the company":

1, high efficiency: The company is not a large family, but an efficient team. Every enterprise wants to develop world-class products, which requires all employees to be able to maintain high efficiency. If employees can't do this, as Netflix's chief executive, Reed Hastings, says, "Hurry up and pack up and leave." ”

2, enthusiasm: All employees into the company at the beginning of the work is very positive, but because product development needs a certain period of time, this may kill many people's enthusiasm, but this kind of enthusiasm needs to maintain or be promoted. It also takes courage. If we find that employees are not motivated and work is no longer positive, we will consider substitution. Of course, we appreciate those who work actively, enthusiastic staff.

3, Growth: For a fast-growing enterprise, change is unavoidable, so it is required to improve the ability to adapt to change, improve the technical level. In my business, I highly value the staff after a period of work can not grow, if unable to grow, sorry!

4, honesty and self-discipline: These two points is the basic principle of life, if the staff even honest, self-discipline can not do, in addition to the scourge of other members of the team, I can not find other functions. Companies respect employees, employees should also respect the enterprise.

5, tolerance: In a fast-growing enterprise, employees are in a high-pressure state. Enterprise work more, customers need more. Even if there is pressure, we should be tolerant of ourselves, but also to customer tolerance. The meaning of tolerance is broader, such as non-discrimination, gender and racism, and not insult others.

So if an employee comes up with a situation that doesn't fit the above quality, we'll get a lot of chances of firing him. But in any company, can not say expelled from the dismissal, there must be a formal reason, I personally think the most useful and the most important thing is "corporate capital budget is not enough."

In addition, for a business, the expulsion of people means to continue to recruit people, can not let zero and the game appear negative. In addition to the employment process is strictly prohibited "employee ranking" situation, because this system has led to Microsoft and other large enterprises stalled.

Dismissing employees is not an easy topic, it is very important for employees and businesses. Anyone who joins a start-up should have a clear picture of how they will work in the next few years, and entrepreneurs will be honest and responsible for the environment in which they are built. It is best to "expel" a person who does not meet the company's development plan without disrupting the environment.
