Raise your hand if you’ve been through a layoff. Keep your hand raised if you kept your job through it and are faced with the reality of attempting to rebuild the company culture after a massive layoff. You are what people call a “survivor” and my goodness, that’s a lot of pressure on your shoulders to help the organization recover, eh?

My all-star special guest today is culture lead and event planner, Daniel Stokes and he’s simplifying how to rebuild company culture after a massive layoff. Both Daniel and I have recently been through a layoff at a large organization and we come to the table with practical advice that you can begin to implement at your own company immediately.

Here’s how.

My all-star special guest today is Daniel Stokes and he’s simplifying how to rebuild company culture after a massive layoff.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• What the very first step is that your HR or People & Culture team must take immediately after a layoff has been announced at your organization.

• Why he believes that “culture repair is everyone’s job,” and not just the responsibility of HR.

• Let’s face it - Trust is lost after a layoff… He talks about the ways that managers and senior leadership can work together to rebuild that trust with their workforce, one conversation at a time.

• One major mistake that organizations tend to make after announcing a layoff that is a massive blunder.

• How to create a safe space for employee listening (through forums, surveys, town halls), where employee feedback can be captured and then actioned upon.

• …and ultimately, we implore everyone listening to this to consider one simple idea: instead of cutting People & Culture budgets after a layoff, what a better solution would be to improve employee engagement and rebuild company pride.

Q: Are you ready to learn how to rebuild your company’s culture after a layoff? If yes, this one is for you.

It’s time to #DoTheThing!
