Right Sizing Ethically
& Economically
Can you retain a productive
and loyal workforce in up and down times?
Yes! Board members, stockholders and top executives
who want a stellar organization eagerly pursue leaders and managers who
possess the skills and attitudes necessary to help "right size" the organization.
Designing your own "right-sizing" strategy with a
focus on ethics, economics, continuous improvement, and top quality service
is the first step. Your strategy needs to:
-
Keep debt and cash flow under control by growing in
a controlled way.
-
Attract, keep and deploy people of excellent character,
competence and commitment to think, say and do the right things.
-
Include the "how to" of treating people right and involving
them as full partners in the enterprise so that they contribute to the
organization's stability in bad times.
Very few competent and creative people who are let go
will ever return. Many who stay ... temporarily ... will leave for more
secure and caring work environments over the next few years. This leaves
a talent vacuum.
You will learn how to ...
-
Do a thorough assessment of your organization's functions
to get accurate and complete information about performance needed to strengthen
and balance your organization's key functions.
-
Establish good environmental scanning and early warning
systems for accurate forecasting and effective planning.
-
Establish and communicate job sharing and cross training
procedures.
-
Develop plans for using consultants and temporary technical
and support personnel who have the special skills to perform needed tasks
and functions.
-
Establish and communicate plans for reducing hours and/or
wages of all management and staff when times get tough so that the "team"
can be kept intact.
