Redeploy Your Workforce During a Crisis

Times of crisis put leadership to the test. The window for initial action is small – be planful rather than giving in to knee-jerk reactions.

Layoffs are often the first cost-cutting option organizations resort to in times of crisis. However, during a crisis, many parts of an organization change frequently and rapidly, and all areas aren’t impacted in the same way. This presents an opportunity to redeploy employees to areas of need instead of laying them off, which will better position the organization to get back to normal once no longer in crisis mode.
