Better ways for a company to handle layoff

Who should leave is the difficult part to decide.Keeping this criteria as objective as possible by analyzing each employee group in your company and determining what makes a successful employee in that category.Check out their sales, production levels scores to find out the one who have to go.

It is often said that the most difficult challenge is to select the person who is to be laid off. I on the contrary disagree.
Selecting the person is the easiest one. The more difficult part is to tell them and guide them properly. Cause, it is the peeved employee who does more damage to the company that he/she is getting out of than any other aspect in the company.
Please note that lay off is just not the person, but the person’s family and friends. There are a lot of emotions involved here and that needs to be taken care off. So the entire activity is to be planned and everyone - including the targeted persons are to be educated.

Enough said. Instead of typing, I would recommend these links:

Excellent example: One of the major IT company in DELHI NCR region.They ask employee to work for 4 days instead of 5 days a week and pay them as per 4 days.Gradually,if person is not performing well thenafter asked to come 3days ,2days a weeks.Henceforth,making employee feel as non-performer or giveback appropriate result. This give tremendous help to employee rather getting sudden blow of NO JOB rather then SLOW out-of the Job.

There're multiple of Retail & Other companies coming up monthly list of Pink slip employee.As a result Entire day & night employee have nightmare.Do HR people still think of Training & making employee more job specific.
