Sometimes it’s attitude.
Sometimes performance.
And sometimes… it’s just time.
Whatever the reason, letting go of staff — especially in Kenya where relationships feel personal — can feel uncomfortable, even emotional.
But when done respectfully, exits protect your peace, your business, and your staff’s dignity.
Let’s walk through it.
⚠️ Why Poor Exits Hurt Everyone
- The worker leaves feeling angry or confused
- Employers carry guilt or fear backlash
- Families or teams are left in conflict
- Gossip spreads in the neighborhood or online
- The new worker inherits a tense situation
How to Let Go Without Guilt or Conflict
1. Start With a Calm Conversation
Call them aside. Be specific and clear:
“We’ve had several conversations about lateness. Unfortunately, we’ll need to end the agreement.”
2. Refer to Their Contract or Warnings
If you’ve logged concerns before, use those notes. It adds fairness and structure.
3. Choose a Neutral Tone
You don’t have to be angry. You’re simply closing a professional chapter.
4. Offer Notice or Pay if Agreed
If your agreement had a notice period, honor it. If not, consider a polite parting bonus (optional but appreciated).
5. Wish Them Well — and Mean It
Even if things didn’t work out, part with dignity. This sets the tone for future hires.
