Unfortunately, in most organizations the ‘layoff buzz’ starts long before the announcement is made. Consequently, many of your employees may already think they may lose their jobs. Many may have begun looking and some are just scared. The best way to reduce the anxiety throughout the organization is to manage expectations.
EA Corporate Team will help
you with the following:
1) Early
Communication
Incorporate into your communications the message to employees that the corporation is committed to each employee’s successful transition and that entrepreneurship training and support is available for those interested in starting their own business.
Benefit
Often times, when this announcement is made early in the process, some employees may volunteer to be laid off. Clearly, voluntary separations to reduce costs are far less destructive to an organization and to the community than are involuntary layoffs.
2) Separation Notification
Support
We will provide a detailed brochure to be inserted in each employee’s separation package. We will also provide several information sessions for impacted workers outlining the customized training your company is affording them to start their own businesses.
Benefit
Employees will understand the company’s commitment to their transition and will begin to feel grateful, not angry, early in the lay-off process.
3) Transition Counseling
For those employees not sure whether entrepreneurship is best for them, EA has a team of Personal Entrepreneurial Coaches that will help laid-off employees determine if entrepreneurship is right for them at this particular point of time.
Benefit
Employees are supported in making their own transition choices and are provided the resources to pursue their choice.
Please contact us via the contact form or call us at 781-569-6023 to learn more about how we can help you offer your employees a transition option, empowerment through entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship Advantage offers corporations a way
to reduce the stress of downsizing and to create a positive
outcome for everyone: the HR staff, the laid off employee,
the retained employee and the larger group of company
stakeholders.
