ABOUT THE EVENT
Layoffs are often necessary for organizations, but the days and weeks afterward determine whether your teams will quickly move forward or struggle with uncertainty. Remaining employees often feel anxiety, fear of future cuts, guilt for being “the ones who stayed,” and skepticism about the organization’s direction. Productivity drops, resentment rises, and trust erodes quickly. Managers, often under intense pressure and uncertainty, are now being tasked with stabilizing their teams, rebuilding trust, keeping top talent engaged, and maintaining productivity.
Yes, layoffs are tough. But leading after layoffs is even harder! Many of your managers will be feeling overwhelmed and stressed out as they navigate uncertainty, shifting workloads, and disengaged employees. That will impact their effectiveness in leading their teams as well as meeting your organization’s goals and priorities.
Leading After layoffs webinar will equip your leaders, managers and human resource professionals with the tools, strategies, and confidence to navigate post-layoff challenges effectively. They’ll learn how to communicate clearly without fueling fear, reset expectations without burning out their team, and rebuild morale so people can reconnect with the mission—not just survive the aftermath. Participants will discover how to:
- Rebuild trust and morale among remaining employees.
- Create a roadmap for long-term resilience and engagement.
- Identify early signs of disengagement or burnout and intervene proactively.
- Communicate with honesty and empathy, addressing employee concerns effectively.
- Maintain accountability and performance while supporting team members emotionally.
- Foster a culture of resilience, collaboration, and engagement, even in times of disruption.
Support your managers with the skills they need to lead confidently after layoffs. Register them for a practical, interactive webinar that will build their leadership capability for today and the future!
Areas Covered
Workforce reductions are among the most challenging events managers can face. While layoffs may be unavoidable, the days, weeks, and even months that follow define whether your team recovers quickly—or spirals into disengagement, lost productivity, and higher turnover.
Layoffs don’t just affect the people who leave—they profoundly impact the people who stay. That’s because layoffs change everything—your team, your relationships, and your role as their leader during these very uncertain times. Overnight, the people you work with are grieving coworkers, fearing for their own futures, and quietly wondering what’s next. And in the middle of all of this, they are looking to you…their manager… for clarity, stability, and confidence.
How do you help your “surviving” employees regain focus, confidence, and engagement? How do you move your team from uncertainty to stability?
Leading After Layoffs webinar will give you the essential tools to lead with strength, empathy, and strategic focus during one of the most challenging leadership moments you’ll face. You’ll learn how to communicate openly without overpromising, rebuild trust when morale is shaken, restore team cohesion, and maintain performance without overwhelming your already-stressed employees.
By attending this practical, action-focused webinar, you will develop the skills to:
- Recognize the silent signs of burnout, guilt, and disengagement.
- Strengthen your ability to communicate with empathy and credibility.
- Build the confidence and presence your team needs from you right now.
- Learn how to prevent burnout, conflict, and disengagement in the aftermath of layoffs.
- Increase your capacity to stabilize your team, retain top performers, and drive results.
- Register now for Leading After Layoffs. You’ll be investing in your leadership for today and the future!
