| Abstract: | Too many companies are too quick to dictate downsizing as the answer to financial woes. Corporations need to take responsibility for their workers, their human capital. Employees are assets, not liabilities. They are what gives a company its competitive advantage. Averting downsizing in all but extreme cases is more than altruistic, it is imperative for the bottom line. Layoffs should be a last resort, not a quick fix. Yes, layoffs sometimes are necessary, but research shows that cutting people just to cut costs does not work. There are companies that have found alternatives. |
