Recession impact on employees


Luke - Posted on 17 August 2009

The recession has a devastating effect on employees, when the management does not make the right steps to fight against the de-motivation. The recession brings the fear to the organization and HR has to prepare a plan with the management to overcome the fears to keep and increase the performance and productivity of employees.

The productivity is a key success factor in the recession. The organizations fight for less business opportunities and the organizations have to offer smaller margins as the customers are extremely price sensitive.

The management has to understand the recession as the opportunity to improve and fix the corporate culture and the corporate values by changing its behavior. The employees need to know the situation of the organization and the management can put a lot of energy among the employees in the recession as the employees feel the situation, which is dangerous for the future of the company.

The employees look for the security in the recession and they feel the trust in the trustful management. The enthusiastic and confident management, which can present a clear plan for the fight with the recession, has a great opportunity to build a new super-organization of the future.

The employees have no recession fear, they are worried about their leaders and managers. That they have no vision for the successful fight with the recession. Everyone wants to win and the management has to keep the recession as the opportunity.
