A layoff can be devastating for an employee. Not only is it a loss of income but it can be a loss of identity and community. Added to that, worrying about what to do next can feel overwhelming.

Letting workers go can be tough for managers, too. However, you can take steps to make layoffs as positive an experience as possible. Including outplacement services can help workers take a step forward in the next chapter of their careers and allow them to focus on the future.
