Planning for economic uncertainty: Workforce planning in action

So far, this year has been dominated by news concerning the economic downturn that businesses now face. Many have undertaken mass layoffs, including several high-profile organizations. However, quick-fix, cost-cutting strategies such as sweeping workforce reduction can lead to significant unintended consequences.

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast from myHRfuture, David Green talks to our CEO Oliver Shaw about the need for effective planning in the face of economic uncertainty.

In this engaging conversation, they discuss:

• How economic downturn and black swan events are making conditions difficult for businesses
• Planning effective cost-cutting strategies that can minimize unintended consequences
• What businesses can do to plan for the future and avoid having to make snap decisions
