What is Downsizing?
Downsizing is one of the hardest leadership moments and handling it poorly creates risk and lasting distrust. We guide you through the planning, communication, documentation, and execution so the process is fair, compliant, and humane. Employees receive dignity and clarity while your business maintains trust and continuity. Done well, downsizing becomes a reset toward focus, alignment, and future stability.
