VistraPartners, consultants to small and midsized companies on management and people issues, will address how you can develop an action plan  to deal with the economic downturn, the impact on your company and how to lead and leverage your workforce. Included will be a discussion  based upon actual  scenarios where VistraPartners recently helped guide management teams through situations where the economic situation forced actions never before taken.  The case studies will present the actions used to deal with turbulent, ongoing change and the impact.

By attending this timely educational seminar, attendees will learn:

• How to drive higher performance (possibly from fewer people)
• The necessary decision factors to consider when debating layoffs
• How to retain high performers and change employees’ perspectives from feeling “entitled”
• Ways to control salary and benefit costs
• Secrets to managing organizational stress and keeping people focused
• How to motivate with messages beyond “You’re lucky to have a job.”
