Inspiring your employees is extremely important when major changes take place within a company. Mergers, layoffs, restructuring and downsizing leave a mark on the employees who survive. No matter how you would like to name these changes, they all lead to the same result – traumatized employees.
It is easy to assume that the people who remain in your company should have a sense of gratitude for the chance they are being given. However, they need the same attention, moral support and guidance as the fired personnel. When you think about it, friendships that bonded between co-workers were cut short, the work load is increased, and the employee’s position in the company is not guaranteed anymore.
