Why Should You Attend:

A reduction in workforce (RIF) is definitely not something that any manager, business owner, or HR professional wants to have to face, but the fact is that such situations do sometimes occur.

The manner in which layoff notifications are handled will have a direct impact on the entire organization, including both the people who learn that their positions no longer exist and the individuals who will be staying with your organization – the layoff survivors – as the company moves forward. This is why it’s critical to provide training for everyone who will be involved in the notification process.

Executives, managers, supervisors, HR professionals and others who will be involved in notifying affected workers must be trained on how these types of conversations should be structured, as well as best practices for communicating with affected workers effectively in this difficult situation.

They - and the other members of your leadership team – must also be trained on what to expect following notifications. They need to be prepared for the impact downsizing will have on layoff survivors so they’ll know what to expect and be able to communicate and lead effectively in this situation – both immediately following RIF notifications and beyond.
