PLEASE GO/PLEASE STAY: THE NEW RULES OF DOWNSIZING AND RETENTION

These are the mixed messages that you are faced with managing, implementing and delivering every day. On one hand, you are asking individuals to leave the organization or change roles as you realign workers to meet changing business needs; on the other hand, you are designing programs to retain a competitive talent pool. Join us as Peg McAllister and Suzanne Lempke of Lee Hecht Harrison explore how today’s job eliminations differ from those of the past; what organizations have learned from three decades of downsizing and restructuring; why your top talent is always at risk during times of change and uncertainty; and what steps can be taken to improve overall retention.
