Leading with Care: Accountability After Layoffs
Layoffs are among the most difficult challenges a business can face. But what separates resilient companies from those that falter is how they manage the aftermath. The people who remain often experience uncertainty, survivor’s guilt, and confusion about their new roles and expectations.
Why Accountability Matters After Layoffs
If these emotions aren’t addressed with clear communication and structured processes, morale drops, productivity slows, and disengagement rises. Accountability becomes a powerful tool — not for control, but for clarity and fairness.
A Harvard Business Review article explains that post-layoff clarity and leadership are critical to preserving trust and productivity. Clear structure and communication are what make the difference.
