title: Downsizing--remember to do it right.
abstract: Downsizing is always difficult even in the best of circumstances. The key to downsizing is treating people the way you would expect to be treated, and offering some understanding and compassion. The end result can be employees who adjust quickly to this momentary crisis in their lives verses angry, bitter, employees who voice their anger and bitterness against your agency publicly and perhaps even in a court of law.
