Meeting Agenda
8:30 - 8:35 Welcome and Administrative Remarks
Opening Remarks by InfraGard Central Ohio President and FBI Private Sector Coordinator
8:35 – 9:40 The Art of Termination
Termination is one of the most difficult tasks that a company can perform, but because the process is so emotional and challenging, terminations are often rushed and hastily planned, despite the fact that the consequences of a poorly handled termination can be substantial (harassment claim, litigation, employee suicide, or injury/death to others). This presentation will discuss how to plan a termination in advance; how to identify high-risk terminations and include a threat assessment process; how to use timing to your benefit; how to notify the employee; how to create soft landings; how to manage the logistics of termination meetings; and how to conduct follow-up actions if appropriate, to include law enforcement assistance. This material is applicable to security departments, Human Resource teams, Labor Relations Groups, Legal representatives, and many others that can contribute to this process.
9:40 - 9:50 Intermission Break
9:50 – 10:45 Thoughts on Leadership
Developed over 25 years in law enforcement and 15 years in the private sector, this presentation will cover what you can do to become an effective leader, including how to communicate at all levels in an organization, how to maximize your own development, how to best give and receive feedback, and personal approaches to deal with the many challenges in both physical and cybersecurity (or in any area of business).
