Downsizing can be daunting, to say the least. Many of us have been let go ourselves over the course of our working lives. But even if we haven’t, we understand the obvious that it’s not a desirable experience.
When the economy turns though, almost every industry gets hurt. In which case, these trying times have had an impact on a wide range of organizations – and will no doubt continue to do so from here. So, sometimes, letting workers go is a necessity.
Yet, believe it or not, there are Bible-based ways to handle such situations, designed to make it easier for everyone involved. Meet Karmae Fahr, who says she’s seen it all… including downsizing done incorrectly. As she tells Mark, however, employers can learn how to:
- Plan for notification day
- Have a strategy in place for employee engagement afterward
- Compile services for exiting employees to utilize.
Karmae is an executive search and recruitment expert, business consultant, entrepreneur, executive coach, trainer, and mentor with 30+ years’ experience. As principal executive of The Fahr Group (TFG) since founding it in 2007, she brings depth and breadth to organizations by successfully selecting candidates for positions from vice president through the C-suite.
Early in her career, Karmae helped build family businesses before transitioning into a recruitment position in the ‘80s. Today, she and her Fahr Group team serve clients nationwide and across industries in their quest to find top-notch management members. They currently boast a 100% fill rate for all searches – an unbeatable track record they proudly uphold and protect!
