Thursday, July 17, 2025
10:00 am - 10:30 am EDT

In today’s economic climate, organizations are under intense pressure to do more with less, often resulting in restructuring and workforce reductions. The way organizations navigate these difficult moments can either protect or erode trust, culture, and brand reputation.

Join us for this 30-minute webinar with GP Strategies’ Organization Design Lead, Cheryl Jackson, as she explores a clear, compliant, and compassionate approach to workforce reduction for HR leaders and business executives. You’ll learn how to build and apply transparent selection criteria, conduct adverse impact analyses, and communicate with empathy to both departing employees and those who remain.

During this webinar, Cheryl will provide insights on how to:

• Design legally sound processes: Learn how to define objective role-elimination criteria, comply with WARN and protected class laws, and conduct adverse-impact testing.
• Communicate with clarity and care: Explore best practices for delivering difficult messages that minimize confusion and preserve trust.
• Rebuild after reduction: Get strategies to re-engage remaining employees, stabilize morale, and protect your organizational culture.

You’ll also receive a sample checklist for building and executing a compassionate and compliant workforce reduction effort.
