Do the hard things right.
Layoffs may be inevitable; but do them the right way.
Be humane.
“It’s a business decision. It’s nothing personal.“
We call bullshit.
This is peoples’ lives, we’re talking about here. And it’s OK to acknowledge that. No one says this is going to be easy. But doing what is right is rarely what is easy.
Communication.
We help plan, coordinate, and finesse the communications that go out to the organization, to the people losing their jobs, and to those who remain with the company. We use proven psychological principles to maximize effect, and minimize risk.
Strategy.
We help develop and execute the strategy for layoffs, providing a structure for how to make decisions, based on what criteria, and how to ensure the process is just and equitable across the organization.
Remaining Workforce.
We help coach and re-arm the leaders and remaining workers to maximize their engagement, reduce the risk of continued attrition, and mitigate the reality of reduced levels of performance, commitment, and innovation.
Outplacement.
We help those employees leaving the organization transition from a highly emotional reaction into actionable progress. We help them craft a plan for their next steps, make the appropriate connections, and lean on each other to find the next phase of their career journey.
This is about legacy. The legacy of the founder, the legacy of the senior team, the legacy of the company.
What will your legacy be?
