At this turbulent times it requires ancollaborative effort-both by the top management and employees to surpasse this time.
slump, downturn,pink slips and layoffs would perhaps would be the most talked words in the recent time and as the year comes to end i am hope full they would top the charts.
It is for sure that organizations need to pull their socks and gear up to face it.
I honestly feel-Layoff is not the only measure to deal with this sistuation.
Depending upon the industry you are in and the business you are in the employee cost -including the salary and other cost would be between 3 to 20 % of the over all cost of operations.
hence re trenching and layoffs would not be the sole remedy- what would you do with out your employees the most valuable assets?
for manufacturing companies which has employee cost being 3 % of the over all cost lay offs and giving pink slips is not going to effect even to a minuscle.
For them better inventory management,planning and forecasting is the areas to be looked upon.
similarly for IT companies which on the contrary have the employee cost being around 20% of the over all cost methods for improving employee productivity and efficiency should be adopted…and pink slips should be the last thing to resort.
pls remeber that IT companies would have work force which might be a inflated due to provisions for bench work force-in anticipation of getting new projects and deploying them to those projects.Hence in the current scenario where chances getting new projects are bleak ,re deployement and efficient utilization of work force is the need of the hour.
