Is Layoff Insurance in Your Future?
Tomball, TX September 20, 2004 — According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2,094 mass layoffs occurred in July, 2004. Each layoff involved at least 50 persons from a single establishment, resulting in 253,929 people swelling the ranks of the unemployed.
Is there a way to guarantee that you’re not the next employee jettisoned? No.
Are there steps you can take to ensure that you’re not the first to go? Absolutely.
Managers who are told to โget lean and meanโ must evaluate the staff and then decide who goes and who stays. Being an exemplary employee could keep you on the โstaysโ list.
Unfortunately, becoming an exemplary employee has been a hit-and-miss proposition, because most business-related books focus on managers, not workers. That’s why it’s so important to take a look at a newly released book, โWise Words for Employees: Becoming Indispensable.โ
Compiled from interviews with human resource managers, supervisors, and senior employees, this book is a cornucopia of workplace advice, this book covers such topics as interpersonal relationships, email management, dealing with customers, project management, ethics, handling security issues, discrimination and sexual harassment, grooming and etiquette, managing your career, and more.
Reading โWise Wordsโ may not make you layoff proof, but it could certainly help you build a buffer zone around your paycheck. It’s short. It’s easy to read. And, the benefits can be immediate.
With the massive number of layoffs in recent years, virtually every job is at risk. For less than the price of a tank of gas, you may be able to survive the next one by implementing the advice in Wise Words for Employees.
