Restructuring with workforce reduction: how to manage the process in a socially sensitive manner

Daniel. Esser and Patrick. Ozoux

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Provides guidance on establishing a strategy of worker retention and worker displacement that will minimize the negative social impact of enterprise restructuring and respect the provisions of international labour standards. Looks at the reasons for workforce reduction and its impact on the individual and the company and sets out alternative options that managers should consider. Includes examples of best practice.
