Handling Employee Layoffs with Compassion and Grace

from Training Doyens

OVERVIEW
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.
