Episode 116: Coping with Job Loss
Today’s agenda:
• HR Worsties
• Cringe corporate speak: difficult but necessary
• Hot topic: all things layoffs, job loss and coping with uncertainty and a big transition
• Taking the time to heal and reach out for support
• Not only the loss of benefits, but perhaps self worth and identity
• Letting it in and letting it out - taking the time to process or be upset is more than okay
• Letting go of the control over the situation
• Honesty = respect. Leaders should approach tough conversations with empathy and respect for team members
• Questions/Comments
