Additional Information
How well you prepare will determine how well the meeting goes. Preparation should include a written blueprint of how the meeting should go - what you will say, possible reactions from the employee, and what rebuttals will be given. Practicing your prepared plan will help you keep on track if the situation gets emotional. You should also be prepared with any paperwork from your human resources department concerning severance agreements, pension and/or benefits information, and what placement services are available from the organization, etc.
