Why How You Let People Go Matters Now More Than Ever

Content Summary

During layoffs, how you off-board defines brand, retention, and risk. This paper outlines a human-centered outplacement model: dedicated one-to-one coaching until placement, resume and LinkedIn strategy, interview preparation, networking support, and motivation reinforced by simple technology for tracking and job matching. The result: fewer claims, stronger Glassdoor outcomes, faster alumni rehires, and a steadier culture for those who remain. Treating departures with empathy becomes a strategic asset - and a lasting reflection of leadership for CHROs today.
