• SHRM Foundation's Effective Practice Guideline Series: Employment Downsizing and Its Alternatives, Sponsored by Right Management

• Employment downsizing has become a fact of working life as companies struggle to cut costs and adapt to changing market demands.  But does this practice achieve the desired results?
