The remaining employees, often referred to as "survivors," can experience a range of emotions and challenges, including:
Reduced Morale: Witnessing colleagues lose their jobs can lower morale. Increased Workload: Survivors may need to take on additional responsibilities. Job Insecurity: Fear of future layoffs can lead to decreased productivity and engagement.
To mitigate these effects, companies can:
Communicate Clearly: Regular updates can alleviate fears and uncertainties. Provide Training: Equip remaining employees with the skills needed to handle new tasks.
