How to Recession Proof Your Business

Rethink your talent strategy now to prepare your company to ride out the storm

A recession is a natural, recurring feature of the business cycle and it plays a crucial role in resetting the equilibrium of an overheating economy.

What you’ll learn:

  • Sometimes: Eliminate layoffs altogether.
  • Often: Keeping the most effective and influential employees inside the organization.
  • Always: Prepare the business for a fast recovery by taking a longer view of resourcing needs and protecting your employer brand.
