How can HR support managers after their team is impacted by lay-offs? Restream helps you multistream & reach your audience, wherever they are.

Let’s face it: the past couple of years have been brutal for lay-offs. More than 500,000 employees have been impacted in the tech industry alone. The personal toll on those who leave is enormous. But managers who remain face their own set of challenges. Because even when headcounts shrink, pressure on managers to deliver results stays the same. In some cases, it intensifies. So how can HR help managers galvanise their teams to deliver in the wake of a lay-off? More thoughts on this topic—and an invitation to a live discussion featuring Jasper De Lange from Adevinta and Alejandra Vergés from Glovo—in this month's Tough Conversations newsletter Check it out here 👇

Layoffs have hit hard over the past couple of years. In the tech industry alone, more than 500,000 employees have been impacted in the last 2 years [Source: layoffs.fyi]. While the personal toll is huge, we often forget about the impact on those who remain—especially managers. Shrinking team sizes, rising goals, and the pressure to deliver results with fewer resources make it a real challenge. Morale dips, and top performers might even consider leaving. Did you know that a layoff affecting just 1% of employees can increase staff turnover by 31%? [Source: HBR] So, what role does HR play in supporting managers in this difficult environment? Join Jasper De Lange and Alejandra Vergés for a Tough Conversations Live to tackle the hard questions.
