The Key to Supporting Employees During Layoffs

How we show up as leaders in difficult situations matters.

A man, loyal to a company for seven years, was let go with just eight days of severance.

Three weeks passed, no word on his benefits.

In an incredibly dignified post, he called out the company's neglect.

His story is a heartbreaking revelation of corporate reality.

Organizations say they will take care of their people, and then in all reality, they don’t.

Layoffs may be necessary, but how we handle them defines our leadership.

Leaders now is your chance to make a difference.

What support are you offering to your let-go employees for their next journey?

Are you collaborating with hiring companies to help them?

Support isn't only for those leaving but also for those left behind.

How are you supporting the ones who stay behind?

Acknowledging the impact this has on them?

Open, honest communication is key.

We can and must do better.
