This book is a practical guide offering strategies and practices that help organizations, their leaders, and their employees recover from a layoff. Whether you are planning a layoff, in the middle of one, or dealing with the aftermath, the author provides a framework for addressing both the business side and the people side of the equation so that the organizational trust, resilience, and communication required to deliver on business goals on the other side of the layoff can be developed or restored. Relevant research, models, and case studies speak the questions and concerns of anyone charting a way through the turbulent waters of organizational change and preparing for the new world of work. After reading it, I had a better grasp of my own experience going through a downsizing as an employee. Delorese Ambrose offers real stuff for real people who want to know how to deal with a difficult situation as well as is possible. You would never know that the book was written more than 10 years ago--the principles and applications are just as valid in today as they were when the book was published. Get it! Read it! It is very helpful.
