Why should you attend?
Conducting layoffs is never pleasant. If you’re a CEO who has no feelings about letting people go, you probably shouldn’t be leading an organization to begin with. However, current economic conditions and market shifts have forced some organizations to make dramatic changes. In these unprecedented times, having a step-by-step proven approach to handling the unpleasant task of informing an employee that they will no longer be employed will help leaders and managers avoid the most difficult employee reactions, such as legal liabilities, anger and hostility and maintain your organization’s employment brand and the morale of your workforce “survivors” as market conditions improve, you need full productivity from all and for when your organization begins hiring again.
