The article is focused on how managers should communicate with employees during a layoff. It quotes from Noer’s study, “Healing the Wounds: Overcoming the Trauma of Layoffs and Revitalizing Downsized Organizations.” He maintains that companies often restrain what managers say “at the very time that managers are needed to be authentic and straight.”
Noer is president of Noer Consulting. He begins his work as the Frank S. Holt, Jr. Professor of Business Leadership at Elon this fall.
