Workforce Reductions

In these difficult economic times, many organizations are struggling to maintain profitability and at times just survive.  As a result, workforce reductions have become a normal part of doing business.  Just like with many business practices, there are right ways and wrong ways to plan and implement an effective workforce reduction.  Based on our experience, we have identified four critical areas that need attention when conducting a workforce reduction:

  1. Planning – Assess future state needs based on market, customer, products and services, and operations.  Identify who stays, who goes, how and why.
  2. Communication Develop communication strategies and procedures for public relations, customers, and employees.
  3. Transition Provide a bridge to future opportunities for impacted employees.
  4. RetentionMitigate fear and reengage existing employees following staff reductions.

  • Developing and customizing a plan to ensure that your workforce reduction model fits organizational needs and minimizes risk.
