Downsizing / Layoffs

In our experience, an incredible number of downsizings are done badly, exacerbating both the human and economic costs of an already expensive process.

At Peopleopolis, we've developed a step-by-step methodology for employers facing the decision to downsize. We can provide a long list of alternatives, or help you plan and implement a layoff without permanently damaging the organization that survives.

Our services start with helping you reach clarity about what is-and isn't- absolutely necessary as you face difficult decisions. If it becomes clear that there's no alternative, we'll help you with all the subsequent steps, including:

• Regulatory considerations
• Maintaining confidentiality
• Compiling a severance package in exchange for a release from claims against the company
• Creating selection criteria and identifying affected staff
• Risk assessment
• Planning the notification meetings
• Announcing the layoff internally and externally
• Recovery for remaining staff.

To minimize the risk of retaliatory litigation, Peopleopolis can also offer you the option of a customized outplacement seminar for your laid-off employees.

Between Jobs is a 2-day seminar with individual follow-up that has been designed to help your employees process the emotions associated with the layoff experience, then organize and execute an effective job search. This very affordable solution diffuses the anger that typically accompanies a layoff. It also allows you to offer real assistance to your affected staff, helping them regain their equilibrium and move ahead as quickly as possible. Learn more about Between Jobs.
