Layoffs, Redundancies and Career Shifts: Navigating Challenging Changes with Leanne Elliott We Are Human Leaders

One of the most traumatic experiences we can have in the workplace is being made redundant. From one day to the next, your life drastically changes and you don’t have a say. 
Being made redundant raises all kinds of questions, as well as feelings like shock, anger and shame. 
Sometimes leaders handle redundancies well. More often, they don’t, making the process immeasurably harder for those on the receiving end.
Redundancies are also complex for those who are left behind: you might feel survivors guilt – or the dread of not knowing if you’ll be next.
If you’ve been made redundant you’re not alone. millions of people around the globe experience it every year, and rates have grown over the past 12 months in many countries.
So, what can leaders do to minimise pain for those who leave? How can you ensure culture continuity for those who stay? And for the person who’s been made redundant, what steps can you take to heal, recover and get back into the drivers seat of you career?
In this conversation we explore this with Leanne Elliott who is a Certified Business Psychologist, Consultant and Coach who builds workplaces that empower teams and enable performance. She is also Co-host of the award-winning psychology podcast, Truth, Lies & Work and Co-Founder of people and culture consultancy, Oblong. 
Leanne shares practical tips and best practices for all of us to better understand more about the best ways to navigate one of the worst workplace experiences.
