There are still layoffs to come in many organizations. If you are involved as one who is conducting the meetings with individual employees, or if you have workers who will be laid off , you want to make sure that there are as few legal actions as possible resulting from those layoffs. Harsh, but true.
 
The question is: What is the best thing for you to do to make the best of the situation and not make any errors?
Take special legal training? Not the most important.
Take special management training? There is something more important.
Just be nice? That sounds pretty lame.
 
But it's correct! It turns out that if you treat employees with dignity and respect during the notifications and afterwards, they will be less likely to initiate a lawsuit. Happy, but true.
