Minimise the impact of economic downturn on your people and your business

This innovative, new management breakthrough shows you how.

 

 

 

 

 

If you are a typical 21st Century manager, battling to:

• Adjust to rapidly falling sales that have created a crater in your business
• Manage the after-effects of a redundancy programme or significant employee layoffs
• Avoid significant employee layoffs or a redundancy programme
• Keep your workforce engaged and productive
• Maintain your own morale in the face of all the additional demands on you

Then I can help you.

Sales are the lifeblood of any business. Thus rapidly falling sales put any business at risk, and the rapidly falling sales of recent time have created levels of risk that demand your priority attention. You are being compelled to scramble to find ways to reduce costs in order to compensate. And because people costs are one of your biggest expenses, it seems entirely reasonable that you should reduce headcount in order to meet this objective. After all, if you have less business, you need less people to service that business, right?

However, it isn't quite as straightforward as it seems. People are as integral to your business as sales. Without your people you also have no business. Consequently, to reduce headcount seems counter-intuitive, especially when you know that business is like a rubber band and the time will come when your sales will improve and you will need those people again. Of course you recognise this and thus that redundancy programmes are not in the best long-term interests of your business. On top of that, it is hard to reduce headcount and emplement employee layoffs when people have been with you a long time and are good workers and colleagues, and even friends. Even worse, you know that any redundancy programme:

• Makes people management more difficult and adds to your troubles.
• Ultimately serves to prolong the cycle, compounding the very problems you are trying to solve.

So both your head and your heart are telling you there have to better alternatives to redundancy.
