Layoffs are one of the most difficult challenges any organization can face. They don't just affect those who are let go, but also deeply impact the morale and engagement of remaining employees. Without proper leadership, the aftermath of layoffs can lead to low morale, decreased productivity, and increased turnover.
This course is designed to equip leaders with practical, empathy-driven strategies to support employees through the emotional challenges of layoffs, ensuring that remaining staff stay engaged and committed. You will learn how to navigate the stages of grief in the workplace, apply successful retention strategies, and foster a resilient, trusting workforce in the face of uncertainty.
Why This Matters:
Layoffs often create an atmosphere of fear and disengagement, which can have long-term negative effects on company culture and performance. By addressing these issues with empathy and clear communication, leaders can maintain a healthy, productive environment while minimizing turnover. This course helps solve the problem of post-layoff attrition by giving leaders the tools to foster trust and resilience, ultimately retaining valuable talent during challenging times.
