You are the middle manager of a company, and you recently received news that your company lost a major contract. Such a loss will directly affect your department by reducing the staff by 25%.

You have six months before the layoffs take place. Your responsibility is to implement a program that will enhance the employees' careers by making them more marketable.

While this is an unfortunate occurrence, it does occur; and great leaders take the necessary steps to implement restoration plans.

Discuss your ideas for this type of program, and consider what it needs to encompass.

Discuss what the program needs to offer employees and how you would communicate this to them (employees).
