Not long ago, we saw workforce shortages, and employees had the leverage; But now, it’s employers who seem to have the leverage. We’re seeing lots of layoffs announced including in the tech sector Google, Amazon, Macy’s, Wayfair, SI, and locally Humana being examples. My colleague and I have an outplacement package we can deliver, and orgs. that are downsizing make great referrals. My colleague and I are also equipped to assist on matters related to NIL. .
TALENT RECRUITMENT AND RETENTIONI recently presented at a local business group on the topic of talent recruitment and retention. I outlined several different talent focused projects which I’ve led or significantly contributed to over the years. Two of these talent projects won national awards. If you or a family memeber have recently relocated to Louisville, please contact me as a valuable career resource.
LAYOFFSIn contrast to layoffs during the 2008 recession and 2020 pandemic, we’re now witnessing a different unemployment pattern fueled by an unprecedented volume of federal layoffs combined with tech sector layoffs. Combined with this, because employers are currently facing economic uncertainties, they’re reluctant to hire. Nevertheless, for folks facing a layoff, it is important for them to develop an employment action plan. I have an outplacement team who can help you or someone you know facing a layoff situation.
Be it unexpected or not, when folks get laid off, they need to assemble a job search tool kit asap. Their tool kit should minimally include an updated resume, LinkedIn profile, and social media linkages. It should also include HR documents confirming that the person was an employee in good standing, connections to the Unemployment Office, and a list of people who can serve as references and facilitate re- employment.
Layoffs are emerging, and federal layoffs have breached customary protocols and sparked considerable controversy. Other private sector layoffs have also recently been announced including:
Involuntary layoffs have caused many to experience shock and even trauma. May happened to be national mental health awareness month, and, among other things, I’m certified in trauma informed career counseling. Along with my outplacement team, we’re equipped to work with the laid off population.
Post lay-off, the work of getting re-employed is work itself. A job search action plan is critical and helps structure, organize, track and evaluate progress toward one’s re-employment goal. Myself and my colleagues have what you need to get a search action plan together.

This book aims at exploring the profound effects of Covid-19 on people's ways of life at home and at work, and offers strategies and expert advice for 'survival' as the world finds itself in a new reality that has formed by the pandemic. At the very core of Back to a New Normal is the premise that the virus, which continues to infect more than 137 million individuals worldwide and has caused millions of deaths, has also triggered radical changes within individual and organizational levels.
At the same time, it opened opportunities that ignited human ingenuity and tested human adaptation. Taming the pandemic is urgent and essential but it is just the first step. Just as critical, is the need to be better prepared for future pandemics that are sure to occur. Focusing primarily on the latter, the book's chapters follow a how to approach by exposing the severity of Covid-19's impact on the behaviors of people and organizations, and effective ways for managing the pandemic's unfolding consequences with an eye on the future.
For that purpose, we asked a group of experts from the academia and practitioners from various fields to share their know how and experience dealing with the consequences of the pandemic, and offer strategies for coping with its harmful effects. This book follows in that vein.
