Discussion Board Question:
You are the middle manager of a company, and you recently received news that your company lost a major contract. Such a loss will directly affect your department by reducing the staff by 25%. You have six months before the layoffs take place. Your responsibility is to implement a program that will enhance the employees' careers by making them more marketable. While this is an unfortunate occurrence, it does occur. Great leaders take the necessary steps. Discuss your ideas for this type of program. What does it need to include? What does the program need to offer employees? How would you communicate this to your employees?
