No manager, owner or HR professional wants to face a reduction in force (RIF), but sometimes downsizing can't be avoided. When it happens, everyone involved in layoff notification needs to deliver the news clearly and respectfully.
How leaders handle layoff notifications affects the whole organization: the people whose roles are eliminated, the layoff survivors who stay, and your employer brand and overall brand. This 60-minute webinar prepares the people who will deliver notifications and the managers who will lead remaining teams, whether or not their department was directly affected.
You'll learn how to structure notification conversations, with a sample script, what to expect afterward, and how the RIF will change the way you manage and lead going forward.
Managers, HR professionals, business owners and others involved in a RIF, downsizing or restructuring need training before they notify affected employees. They must know how to structure these conversations and communicate with empathy, both with affected workers and with the survivors who remain.
The session suits HR professionals, managers, leaders, executives and business owners.
