Managed Exits is how we help employers handle terminations, layoffs, severance, and downsizing. We plan, prepare, and deliver each one with dignity, structure, and far less risk, for the person leaving, the team that stays, and your business.
Talk to us confidentiallyThe cost of a termination is rarely the severance. It is how it is handled.
Most small and mid-sized businesses face a termination rarely, sometimes never before, yet it is one of the highest-stakes, most emotionally charged, and most legally exposed things they will ever do. There is no playbook, management is under stress, and the real damage usually comes from how it is handled: the unwritten notice, the meeting that goes sideways, the voided contract clause, the team that loses trust, the public review.
We believe people deserve to leave with dignity, and employers deserve to feel confident and protected. Both are possible at once, and that is exactly what we deliver.
Whether it is a single termination, delivering severance and notice, managing a performance improvement plan, a layoff or reduction in force, or a full office closure, we help you prepare for it and handle it well.
Every exit is handled with dignity for the person leaving and care for the team that stays. This is the signature.
A structured, repeatable method built from 500+ real exits and full office closures. Nothing is improvised under pressure.
We work alongside your legal counsel to avoid the costly, common mistakes. We own the manner and the aftermath; your lawyer owns the contract.
We walk you through it step by step, so you are never figuring this out alone.
We confirm the rationale, timing, and alternatives, so you move forward clear and prepared.
We prepare the notice, severance package, and separation agreement, and coordinate with your legal counsel. We do not provide legal advice; we work with your lawyer or a trusted partner.
The script, the logistics, and what to say and what not to say, practised before the day.
We lead the termination meeting or sit alongside you, in person or virtual, so it is handled with calm and care.
Transition support for the departing employee, clear communication to your remaining team, and clean documentation.
A flat per-person or package rate for one or a few individual terminations, handled end to end.
A reduced volume rate for a small reduction in force, with planning, delivery, and team support built in.
Custom-scoped support for large reductions and full office or branch closures, in Canada or abroad.
Pricing is shared in a confidential conversation, matched to your situation.
Forth K does not provide legal advice. We work alongside your employment counsel, or a trusted partner, so the contract and compliance are covered while we handle the human and operational side of the exit, where the real risk and the real care live.
There is a way to do this with grace and understanding, and it works for a business of any size.
Reach out for a confidential conversation. We will help you handle it with care, and get it right.
