pepelwerk: Companies – Vol 2 Q1 2024
How you treat people during a layoff matters.
Everyday companies have to decide how to maintain the financial health of their businesses. Sometimes that means, having to lay off people. In fact, according to HR Executive 90% of companies will layoff people in 2024. The experience doesn’t have to be traumatic for either party.
The top five challenges that people have with being laid off are the same five challenges that companies have to confront to make the decisions.
- Who gets laid off needs to be as equitable and reasonable as possible and cannot be driven by political favoritism, FIFO or LILO techniques.
- Being informed via email sucks.
- Being treated like past work had no value is demoralizing.
- Facing concerns about income makes people anxious.
- Breaking up with good employees is hard.
We can help you create a plan that is equitable and less stressful on everyone involved.
