S3: E3 The Hidden Cost of Layoffs: What Happens to the People Who Stay

from Hope @Work · host WRKdefined Podcast Network

While recent headlines highlight layoffs at large companies like UPS, Amazon and Intel, far less attention is paid to the employees who remain.  Fiona Jamison, VP of Research and People Analytics at People Results shares research and insight into the often overlooked “survivor” experience.  We explore the hidden productivity tax resulting from layoffs, whether AI is actually the reason for recent reductions and the long-term implications for employer brand.  Fiona also highlights what good looks like when communicating a layoff, and what organizations can do to restore trust and hope after difficult workforce decisions.
