indirectly means laying off some of the staffs in the company in order to adjust the
company’s budget.

commerce; thanks to the troubled economy
but your heart beat increases at the mention of “LAYOFF”. This makes it hard for you to be

face the reality and look for ways to keep your
job.

desperate measures”. As an employer in an organization, one has to be proactive and be
smart about saving your job especially this
period of massive layoff in the job sector of
the economy.

1. Update your skills and knowledge During staff layoff, management will be quick to let go of staffs that their skills are outdated and they have nothing new to offer, no new idea to bring to move the company forward. One will be seen as useless to the company. Therefore, it is best to look for new ideas, new ways to go about your job description that will be productive. Acquire new productive skills and make sure the management is aware of these efforts.

2. Have a variety of skills Management moves staffs from one department to the other during staff layout, the essence of this is to keep the best staff. Try to be useful in different department and have a variety of skills, because if you have a narrow set of skills your usefulness gets reduced and also get ready to accept roles that are outside your regular job description.

3. Match your goals with the organization’s goal Your job security increases if your goal matches the organizations priorities. Try to spend time on things the organization care about. Try to take part in the organization’s most important projects. Concentrate on the task the management see as high priority.

4. Have a positive attitude During layoff, people that are seen as difficult, less friendly people, rebellious people are easily gotten rid of. On the other hand, the friendly ones, cooperative, helpful ones are usually retained because they have the positive vibes to things and people.

5. Expand your Network Like the saying goes, “It’s not your boss who protects your job, it’s your boss’s boss”. Relationship with higher managers are important during this period. During layoffs, it’s a joint effort to compile list of people to be laid- off. If other departments see you as useful, they will stand up for you. Therefore, expand your network and develop good relationship with them.
