Navigating The Change Curve: Leading Employee Re-engagement After a RIF​

Research indicates that a reduction in force significantly impacts employees. Survivors of a layoff often experience a range of emotions, including fear, guilt, and a potential distrust in senior leadership and the company's direction. If these “survivor issues” are not managed effectively, they can lead to lasting negative consequences on employee engagement, retention, and overall performance.

Navigating the Change Curve is a timely and practical training program for leaders and managers at all levels. It equips them with the strategies needed to re-engage themselves and their teams effectively after a layoff. This session is crucial for any organization implementing a reduction in force.

Drawing upon foundational change management research and decades of experience in addressing the unique challenges of post-RIF environments, Navigating the Change Curve is a one-hour session designed to help leaders guide themselves and their employees through the predictable stages of post-RIF stagnation more quickly and effectively. This program is a key component of our reduction in force services.
