  13. Facts and Figures Global World Organization Individual • Cost reduction and change are the name of the game • More organizations choose to decrease expenses by downsizing • Decrease employment of external vendors for HR activities; more ‘in-house’ activities • General atmosphere of uncertainty and apocalyptic vision foster tension, frustration and conflict • Streamlining is for everyone – including us… It’s definitely not business as usual!

  14. HR at Times of Crisis – Survival Guide Global World Organization Individual • Risk management • HR work ethic • Finance report monitoring and control • Abiding to regulation • Caution of ‘warning’ signs • Board of Directors and management • ‘Watch your back’ • Objective, non-biasedconsulting * Adapted from Gross, Y. “The Marker” 22 Oct 2008

  15. HR’s Role - Organizational Level Global World Organization Individual • Maximal involvement in meetings on the actions to be taken in light of the crisis • Presentation of “HR common sense” – balancing organizational and individual needs in the short and long term • Support every change through assistance in change management • Observe the organization as a balanced system – re-establish balance wherever it was lost due to change • Support downsizing processes both in how it is perceived (mindset) and how it is executed • Talent mapping

  16. HR’s Role - Individual Level Global World Organization Individual • Availability and presence – in the halls, dining room, coffee breaks, meetings, on the phone, after work hours • Uncertainty is difficult for everyone - although you cannot make it go away, you can make dealing with it easier • Keep reminding everyone that beyond the “actions” there are people • Especially at times of crisis –fairness in light and beyond regulations • Support those who are staying and those who are leaving • Remember that this situation is as hard on senior management – they too need support • Remember to take care of yourself!
