Organizational Focus: Layoffs
Laying off employees is difficult. Help those left behind survive and thrive.
I’ve been consulting with organizations for over 20 years and I can’t remember a time when I’ve seen more concern. Layoffs create stress in an organization for those making the layoff decisions and for those left behind. I’ve seen organizations almost come to a standstill with water cooler talk severely limiting productivity.
It sounds like a cliché but your organization needs to seek opportunities amidst the change. This is the old “make lemonade out of lemons” argument. However, this isn’t about “putting on a happy face”. It is about realizing that the organization will survive and needs to get going to work its way out of the situation. I built the ActionPacks™ below to help you and your organization move through the dynamics of business change and get back to work.
