In this episode of “We Fixed It, You’re Welcome” our panel tackles the pressing issue of mass layoffs sweeping across industries. Joined by Christina Sacco from Protis Global, a talent recruitment company, the discussion explores the complexities of workforce reductions across the business landscape.

The energized conversation delves into the fiscal realities driving layoffs, the importance of strategic planning, and the human impact on both departing and remaining employees. Our panel offers insights on maintaining company culture, effective communication strategies, and the potential long-term consequences of mishandled layoffs.

While acknowledging that layoffs are an enduring business practice, the episode ultimately provides valuable perspectives on carrying out workforce reductions more humanely and strategically, and also looking to the future in anticipation of better growth and stability ahead.
