Downsizing: Getting It Right from Termination to Engaging the Survivors

Download whitepapers What does it take to survive a downsizing? From potential legal landmines surrounding terminations to distraught layoff survivors, a reduction in force poses many perils for the unprepared HR professional and employer.

Now there's a free HR Hero White Paper to walk you through the legal and emotional turmoil associated with a layoff, Downsizing: Getting It Right from Termination to Engaging the Survivors. In plain English, this White Paper will cover the four essentials of conducting a reduction in force:

  • Documentation
  • Selecting who to terminate
  • The termination conversation
  • Engaging your layoff survivors
  • And more.
There's no easy way to deal with a layoff. But you can learn how to downsize with the sensitivity and the documentation necessary to help your organization recover in a troubled economy.

We'll show you what you must include in your documentation and what you must leave out, and how your supervisors can prevent the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from knocking on your door. You'll learn the three general categories of methods for determining whom to lay off, including objective methods, subjective methods, or a combination of the two.

This report will help you understand how to fire an employee while preserving the worker's dignity and respect, and how to prevent the termination from turning into a lawsuit. We'll also provide tips for handling survivor's guilt, and the anger, grief, and stress often experienced by those forced to do more with less.
