From: Abha Ahad

Founders / Executives / HRs / Career Coaches to comment on a layoff

Detected Jun 15

Suggested angles

Frame layoffs as a catalyst for skills assessment: discuss how career coaches can help displaced workers inventory their transferable skills and identify capability gaps that make them more competitive in the next role, directly addressing Humanise's focus on making work more human-centered

Address the mental health and identity component of job loss: explain how executives can foster psychological safety during transitions by acknowledging that job loss affects self-worth, not just income, and how HR can implement support structures that treat people as whole humans rather than resources

Share concrete practices for maintaining organizational culture during layoffs: provide specific steps founders and HR leaders can take to communicate honestly, preserve dignity for departing employees, and sustain morale among remaining staff—positioning layoffs as a moment to demonstrate company values

Position your expertise as helping organizations navigate layoffs in ways that prioritize employee wellbeing and dignity, which aligns with Humanise's mission to make work more human.
