Healing the Wounds

From the founder of "layoff survivor sickness," an updated edition of a book for today's downsized workforce.

Thoroughly revised and updated, David Noer's classic book about downsized organisations has never been more relevant. Reports of the most recent layoffs are making the front pages of our newspapers with frightening regularity. And massive downsizing continues to reshape the face of American business. But what about those who remain behind? Healing the Wounds provides an antidote to the widespread malaise on the American business scene left in the wake of workforce reductions. Drawing on case studies and original research, David M. Noer—an expert frequently quoted in major media such as The Wall Street Journal and Fortune on the topic of layoffs and layoff survivor sickness—provides executives, human resource professionals, managers, and consultants with an original model and clear guidelines for revitalising downsized organisations and the employees left behind.
