In other cases all the company may need is some improvement in the communication area. Some reports and tests have shown that the effects of this downsizing are short term. In reality the company may end up re-hiring more employees and be back in the same position as before. I am going to give some ideas of what a manager can do to possibly avoid downsizing, effects of downsizing, some current examples, and finally an example of what is available on the Internet. These individuals are known as the survivors.
Many survivors spend their time wondering if they are next and start to rework their resume'.
The employer has lost credibility. If the survivors are not treated correctly the downsizing will fail. If the survivors are scared or hurt they will resist change. They are deep in their work in order to avoid organizational changes. Wait and Sees- these are the people who are vocal and confrontational at meetings and in conversation.
