It is a foolhardy way for companies to cut their way out of a recession, especially human capital resources. It is a no-brainer way to resource planning. A consistent fixture in most of these successful companies is their communications – articulating a clear vision of the future so that everyone “gets it” and can move on with the companies.
These messages are people-oriented and they elicit honest feedback from the ranks and files. Such communication ensures that the companies are focused on building and sustaining high engagement with their employees. Morale will be high since there is a strong promotion of inclusiveness during bad times even though it may mean having their pay cut or work week shorten.
It is a matter of attitudes, feelings and emotions that makes work enjoyable and ignites people's energy to do more than they thought they could. It is about creating that atmosphere of success even in difficult times and they can see their journey with the companies. Great employers of choice understand the numbers, but they also touch people's hearts.
