• catalog abstract ""Business conditions are fundamentally changing the employment relationship between American workers and large companies. Over the past decade, several million managers and professional employees have been laid off not only from their jobs but their careers. "White-collar layoffs" have become a fact of life for corporate America. Survivors often lack loyalty to their organizations because downsizing has become an annual rite of headcutting." "Downsizing, the proclaimed cure for what ails American business, has become a dilemma to managers. It has not delivered tangible long-term results and has weakened intangible long-term values. All of this is happening at a time when America desperately needs a motivated, creative, and innovative work force. To remain competitive in world markets, restructured companies will require fiercely loyal employees who will support new ideas and take risks - because their jobs are not always on the line." "The Rightsizing Remedy is a wake-up call to managers and employees alike on how to respond to the downsizing dilemma by taking a more holistic, intuitive, and most of all, humanistic approach to human resource management. The concept of "rightsizing," according to Charles F. Hendricks, encompasses much more than extrapolating "business as usual" approaches into an uncharted future." "Hendricks shows how to:" "Eliminate "by the numbers" cost cutting to rebuild employee loyalty and produce superior products and services." "Shape employment strategies to coincide with the trends occurring in the workplace." "Approach problems from the employee's perspective and build a more flexible, human-centered work force." "Corporate restructuring doesn't have to be a nightmare. Hendricks gives you the weapons needed to make restructuring "routine" while providing managers and employees with a clearer measure of "loyalty-up/loyalty-down.""--Jacket.".
