Question

If you were a hotel manager, How would you approach staff layoffs ?

Answer 1

Answer:

RIFs are upsetting and difficult to deal with for everyone. Leaders and HR managers should not be expected to smile through it or attempt to make the situation more palpable than it is. Doing so might make light of the layoff’s impact and belittle people’s feelings. Acknowledge that it is painful for all employees—those being let go, those who are staying, and for the HR managers who have to implement the reduction. This is also a good time to be transparent about what is happening within the organization. Answering questions about why the reduction is necessary can help those left behind cope and move forward.
