But they had no choice. What else were they to do? They had to make these seemingly cold cuts to save the business.
Agreed but
How is that other managers made the same cold cuts without reducing morale or loyalty or productivity or profita ... Tags: recession, morale, productivity, performance, tough times

By: Joe Farcht | - Have you ever walked into a workplace and literally felt heaviness in the air? It was as though fear were the predominant emotion permeating the atmosphere.

- The Morale Myth
By: David. A. Goldsmith | - Why is it that no matter what you do to boost morale, from parties and picnics to pats on the back, you end up with the same short-lived results? You know, everyone's happy for a couple of weeks, then they default to heel dragging and excuse making again? If you're banging your head against the wall looking for new tactics, the only guarantee is a sore head. Here's why. Traditional tactics address symptoms, not causes of low morale. Look to mechanics rather than people when seeking solutions. Tags: business strategy, strategic planning, leadership, employee morale
