Justification to retain an employee is the process of assessing a situation and determining the best course of action with regards to current staffing. In order to ensure that this process is fair and equitable, employers must look at the skills, experience, and potential contributions of the employee in question and make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the business to maintain the current staff. It is important to consider both short-term and long-term implications when making this determination and to ensure all relevant factors are taken into account. By taking the time to properly evaluate the employee’s past performance, qualifications, and potential contribution, businesses can be sure they are making the right choice to retain or release an employee.
