On today’s episode I'm joined by my special guests:

As the global economy is leaning toward recession, organizations are facing cost pressures and lowering labour costs through downsizing. 

With the help of our esteemed guests, we will explore the seven lessons on managing people during an economic downturn that can be adapted to today's business context. 

This includes seizing the opportunity, sharing experiences, over-communicating, being bold, attending to those who leave, attending to those who stay and redesigning work.

Leaders must take a strategic approach to downsizing, to ensure a fair process for those who leave, and attend to those who stay through personalised employee value propositions and sharing information about future employment plans.

Lessons:

  1. Seize opportunity

  2. Share experiences

  3. Over-communicate

  4. Be Bold

  5. Attend to those who leave

  6. Attend to those who stay

  7. Redesign work
