Presentation Description

Organizations downsize for many reasons.  Major customers have gone to competitors, donor support has dwindled, strategic steps were missteps, costs have risen to unmanageable levels, the recession economy…  Whatever the reasons, downsizing or “right sizing” is a critical time for the HR function to be involved in managing the process, logistics and communications.  You are invited to share your experiences and insights. 

SHRM members who have assisted their organizations with downsizing will be present for our round table discussion.   
• Cory Erickson of Career Momentum; formerly with Thermo Fisher Scientific
• Mary Jo Spiekerman, VP of Hausman Johnson Insurance
