| Summary |
"Managing the Workplace Survivors: Organizational Downsizing and the Commitment Gap is written for managers and other staff professionals who are charged with the responsibility of realigning the corporate culture and revitalizing survivor employees. The book helps managers and other organizational leaders understand the critical role they play in today's organization, and identifies specific strategies for increasing quality, productivity, and bottom-line profitability among survivor employees."--BOOK JACKET. "Organizational leaders are challenged to construct dynamic strategies to empower, retain, and create incentive for the survivor employees, and to facilitate effective strategies to assure the entire organization's survival."--BOOK JACKET. "The book is divided into two major parts: "Gaining a Perspective" and "Developing a Survivor Strategy." "Gaining a Perspective" places more emphasis on who the survivors are, where they come from, and what is happening to them. It introduces the Survivor Management Model, which outlines an approach used successfully by the authors to help companies recommit and realign their survivors. "Developing a Survivor Strategy" shifts more emphasis to recommendations about what to do with them. The Appendixes are a "Manager's Toolkit" that contain several instruments and exercises that have proved effective in implementing the Survivor Management Model."--BOOK JACKET |
