Decision Day

Here's an idea that came from a seminar attendee on my program entitled, "Turning Around Turnover." The top level operations manager stated at her firm they give people a " Decision Day" just before they fire them. This is after they have done all the proper documentation and warnings. They give them the day off with pay, where they ask them to think about making a decision between two choices when they come back in the next day. Either, they can accept immediate termination, or they can decide to stay on, but must sit down and write up an action plan to improve in whatever areas are needed by certain deadline dates.
