Leading After Layoffs: How Managers Can Rebuild Their Team’s Stability, Mor

Leading After Layoffs: How Managers Can Rebuild Their Team’s Stability, Morale and Performance!

Layoffs are often necessary for organizations, but the days and weeks afterward determine whether your teams will quickly move forward or struggle with uncertainty. Remaining employees often feel anxiety, fear of future cuts, guilt for being “the ones who stayed,” and skepticism about the organization’s direction. Productivity drops, resentment rises, and trust erodes quickly. Managers, often under intense pressure and uncertainty, are now being tasked with stabilizing their teams, rebuilding trust, keeping top talent engaged, and maintaining productivity.

Yes, layoffs are tough. But leading after layoffs is even harder! Many of your managers will be feeling overwhelmed and stressed out as they navigate uncertainty, shifting workloads, and disengaged employees. That will impact their effectiveness in leading their teams as well as meeting your organization’s goals and priorities.

Leading After layoffs webinar will equip your leaders, managers and human resource professionals with the tools, strategies, and confidence to navigate post-layoff challenges effectively. They’ll learn how to communicate clearly without fueling fear, reset expectations without burning out their team, and rebuild morale so people can reconnect with the mission—not just survive the aftermath. Participants will discover how to:

• Rebuild trust and morale among remaining employees.
• Create a roadmap for long-term resilience and engagement.
• Identify early signs of disengagement or burnout and intervene proactively.
• Communicate with honesty and empathy, addressing employee concerns effectively.
• Maintain accountability and performance while supporting team members emotionally.
• Foster a culture of resilience, collaboration, and engagement, even in times of disruption.

Areas Covered

Workforce reductions are among the most challenging events managers can face. While layoffs may be unavoidable, the days, weeks, and even months that follow define whether your team recovers quickly—or spirals into disengagement, lost productivity, and higher turnover.

Layoffs don’t just affect the people who leave—they profoundly impact the people who stay. That’s because layoffs change everything—your team, your relationships, and your role as their leader during these very uncertain times. Overnight, the people you work with are grieving coworkers, fearing for their own futures, and quietly wondering what’s next. And in the middle of all of this, they are looking to you…their manager… for clarity, stability, and confidence.
