在不景氣時期，要維護公司價值

在不景氣發生的時候，許多領導者被迫採取一些令人不愉快的行動，例如裁員，或縮減公司服務規模。

但是，不要以不景氣作為藉口來遺棄公司的核心價值，反而要以它來強化公司的生存能力。

在採取裁員行動前，可以嘗試其他有創意的選擇來保留員工的工作。例如，有些公司安排讓員工共同分擔一份工作，或是減少工時。

如果你還是不得不減少用工人數，盡可能要尊重當事人的尊嚴。你應該向他們說明公司的財務狀況，以及公司的決策與行動計劃。你應該盡可能協助受到資遣的員工獲得其他的工作機會，或是答應公司在復甦后，會優先回聘他們。

對於能夠保留在公司工作職位的其他員工，應該向對待客戶一般的予以尊重。以公司的價值觀來促成團結，讓公司不僅得以生存，并能夠鍛煉出迎向復甦的強健體質。

In a recession, to maintain the value of the company

During the recession, many leaders were forced to take some unpleasant actions, such as laying off staff or reducing the scale of the company's services.

However, we should not use the recession as an excuse to abandon the core value of the company, but rather strengthen the viability of the company.

Before taking the action of layoffs, we can try other creative options to keep employees' work. For example, some companies arrange for employees to share a job or reduce work hours.

If you still have to reduce the number of workers, respect the dignity of the parties as much as possible. You should explain to them the financial condition of the company and the company's decision and action plan. As far as possible, you should assist the employees who have been assigned to get other jobs, or promise that the company will give priority to them after the recovery.

Other employees who can retain their jobs in the company should be treated with respect to their customers. Promote unity through the company's values, so that the company can not only survive, but also be able to exercise to meet the strong physique of recovery.
