Reductions in Force
Layoffs in corporate America have become the stuff of daily headlines. Among the challenges that companies face in this regard are (1) organizing, training and empowering a smaller workforce to deliver improved services; (2) preserving the dignity of departing employees; and (3) boosting the morale and productivity of the employees who remain.
The purpose of this training program is to help managers minimize the negative impact of this experience for those whom they are charged with informing of the organization's reduction-in-force decision. It is grounded in the notion that a fairly and humanely administered reduction in force will promote trust and faith in the management and future of the organization.
