For even the toughest executive, downsizing or restructuring a business is a sobering, difficult experience. No company can survive this type of crisis without holding on to its best people—the ones with industry-specific technical, manufacturing, or marketing expertise. However, when a business crisis forces layoffs, there is a sizeable risk that the wrong people will be let go. It’s crucial to your company’s future to make sure this doesn’t happen. In The Headcount Solution, N. Fredric Crandall and Marc J. Wallace Jr. demonstrate how to:

  • Implement layoffs
  • Avoid losing vital employees
  • Maintain workplace morale
  • Rebuild your company
  • Prepare for competitive battles, and much more

Using best practices from major corporations such as Microsoft and Motorola, the authors also explain how your company can avoid major downsizing mistakes. The Headcount Solution will help your organization get ahead, and prepare your staff for a hard yet hopeful future.
