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. As leaders, we have no control over the frequency or depth of a specific economic downturn, but we do have control over how we plan for, react to, and manage through a recession.
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.
