  • Summary

  • Today's episode is focused on leading a team, a department or an entire organization AFTER a large layoff. I studied more than 8,000 employees who survived a corporate layoff and discovered that, on average, their productivity, work quality and engagement all declined significantly. Retention rates of these employees also declined sharply, so employers were losing more of those they had planned to keep. Even the layoff of only a few, or even just one employee, can have a significant negative impact on those remaining. So my goal in this episode is to help you understand the research and recommended leadership strategies to keep employees motivated and engaged during difficult times, especially after layoffs. We will be talking about: Pre-layoff preparation and communication The expected decline in the ‘survivor’s’ passion, creativity and commitment How employees mask their true feelings The impact of even small or singular layoffs What kind of leader do they need now? Post-layoff communication cadence How to avoid losing your most effective and productive ‘survivors’
