272. The Layoff Playbook: Soft Landings, Survivor's Guilt, and Trust
About this episode
Traci and Jena discuss conducting layoffs with dignity and the importance of planning and communication in the process.
Traci sat down with Jena Dunay, founder of Recruit the Employer, to talk about conducting layoffs with dignity. We're bringing this one back as the first episode of our four-part layoff series because it's just as relevant now as it was when it first aired. What We Cover: Offboarding as seriously as onboarding What's at stake when there's no plan in place What outplacement actually is (hint: not George Clooney in Up in the Air) The communication plan every HR leader needs before they ever need it Legal landmines to think through before a single conversation happens Survivors' guilt and what leaders can actually do about it What owning leadership mistakes publicly really looks like Why middle management is the make-or-break layer in post-layoff recovery Connect with Jena Dunay: RecruittheEmpoyer.com | Recruiter Unlimited | LinkedIn Connect with Traci here: https://linktr.ee/HRTraci Disclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.
