01 January 2014, Singapore: Why am I touching the issue of 'retrenchment' or 'layoff' on the first day of 2014.
2013 was a year were most organization try to right size their employee's population while delaying a more radical organizational transformation program for 2014.
2014 will be a year where most corporate will unleash their business transformation that others has never seen before ... we are not talking about implementing outsourcing or establishing shared services ...
- centralization of expertise (e.g., HR, Finance, Customer Services, Sales, etc.);
- re-design work processes;
- large scale automation;
- utilization of e-technology;
- large scale of business integration e.g., merging of multiple production plant under one management (more merger but less acquisition; streamline of core businesses);
- others.
Will anyone dare to challenge me that with all the above-mentioned transformation program going to happen ... we as HR professional can avoid the word "retrenchment" or "layoff" for 2014?
Please prepare for the worst ... it is better for HR professional to know the good practices on retrenchment-layoff-redundancy. Click the following link:
