In this 4-part mini-series we explore how to bring a bit of OOOO to your work life: Optimism, Opportunity, Outgoing & Organisation. Four different topics, we explore the mindset, behaviours and tips that bring these to life in everyday practice. In this second episode explore how to look after yourself and others when there are cutbacks, redundancies and a 'shrink' mentality in your workplace. As we discuss, this can create very unsettling and upsetting emotions. Not only for those who are at risk of redundancy, but also those who remain in their role who might be sad to see a colleague depart, and worried about increased workload.
We take a practical look at how to keep focused on the opportunity, remembering that as one door closes another could be about to open. No feeling is final, and sometimes upon reflection, an unwanted change due to a company cutback, can be the start of a better career path ahead.
A useful listen for anyone who has a stretching period ahead of them, or who is managing a team during a round of redundancy.
