Healing the Wounds Summary

Healing the Wounds: Overcoming the Trauma of Layoffs and Revitalizing Downsized Organizations by David M. Noer

Help your downsized workforce bounce back Layoffs make the business pages, even the front pages, of our newspapers with frightening regularity. And massive downsizing continues to reshape the face of American business. But what about those who remain behind Healing the Wounds provides an antidote to the widespread malaise on the American business scene left in the wake of workforce reductions. Drawing on case studies and original research, David M. Noer--an expert frequently quoted in major media such as The Wall Street Journal and Fortune--provides executives, human resource professionals, managers, and consultants with an original model and clear guidelines for revitalizing downsized organizations.

Healing the Wounds Reviews

"An outstanding study, a major contribution to business literature." "Noer provides a model for handling layoffs and the after effects, and issues a wake-up call for building a new kind of corporate organization." "David Noer has lived the lives and felt the feelings of America's riffed, downsized, and professionally dispossessed millions.... His book is nothing less than a survival manual for the next twenty years." (Peter Vaill, dean, School of Business and Management, George Washington University) "Meets the challenge of addressing one of the toughest management issues of the 1990s'downsizing.'" (Marilyn Tam, CEO, Aveda Corporation) "Noer convincingly points out that companies that go through layoffs to get lean and mean often wind up sad and angry instead. He offers various strategies for helping those who are sent away, and those who remain, to get on with their lives and remain productive." "David Noer brings to the major workplace crisis of our time insight, compassion, and tough-mindedness. A survivor's manual for tough times!" (Marvin R. Weisbord, author of Productive Workplaces and Discovering Common Ground) "Much-needed insights on. . . effectively managing downsizings while forging productive relationships with its surviving workers." (Joel Brockner, professor of management, Graduate School of Business, Columbia University)
