HR Hero Audio Conference on CD
Presented by Wilma Mathews
November 14, 2006
Even though the live seminar on this topic has already taken place, you can still hear it! For your convenience, we've recorded it on CD, so you can listen when you have time or share it with colleagues in your organization.
With more than 100,000 job cuts planned for the U.S. Labor Force, many HR professionals are facing the challenge of how to communicate layoffs both internally and to the public. An effective Reduction in Force (RIF) communications strategy can mean the difference between unhappy employees and a smooth transition, not to mention your organization's reputation. That's why you should take just 90 minutes to hone your RIF approach when you take part in the new audio conference, Communicating Layoffs with Care: How to Make RIFs Less Painful.
This HR-oriented event will provide RIF survival communication techniques such as:
- Understanding your primary audience: Why it is imperative to announce layoffs first to employees and the rest of the world later
- How your approach to communicating a layoff can determine future outcomes, including a jump in the stock price, an unhappy employee base, or a smooth transition
- Critical questions you must ask senior managers before a layoff is announced
- Communication vehicles to avoid at all costs when communicating a layoff
- Roles of senior leaders and supervisors in communicating layoffs
- Appropriate timing and method for informing employees about a layoff
- What to say and how to say it: The messages and the body language that HR needs to convey to those who are being laid off
- Knowing when to start talking…and when to stop
- How to deal with the pain and fear of laid-off employers
- Questions every employee needs answered during a layoff announcement
- Survivor syndrome: How communication can help HR address the symptoms and respond to survivors' needs
- Informal measures you can take to assess the effectiveness of your communication efforts, including stopping by the company's "rumor mill"
Facing layoffs is never an easy task, but by taking part in this one-day interactive learning event, you can make the RIF process as painless as possible. Register now for Communicating Layoffs with Care: How to Make RIFs Less Painful.
