HR Lunch Bunch: Navigating Layoffs
April 2, 2025,12 Noon – 1:00 PM PT
HR Answers Seminar Series
Zoom
Layoffs are one of the most challenging scenarios for any organization and one of the most difficult set of responsibilities an HR professional faces. Whether due to economic downturns, restructuring, or operational shifts, handling layoffs requires thoughtful planning, clear communication, and legal awareness to minimize impact on both departing and remaining employees.
This month’s HR Lunch Bunch program will share and discuss amongst attendees’ practical strategies for navigating layoffs with transparency, empathy, and compliance while also maintaining morale and engagement within your organization. We’ll discuss best practices, legal considerations, and post-layoff recovery to ensure that HR professionals are well-equipped to support employees through this difficult process.
Our key discussion areas will include:
- Planning for a Layoff: Strategic considerations before, during, and after the announcement
- Legal & Compliance Considerations: WARN Act, severance, documentation, and risk management
- Delivering the Message: Conducting layoff conversations with empathy and professionalism
- Supporting Employees & Managers: Resources, outplacement, and emotional impact
- Post-Layoff Workforce Management: Rebuilding trust and engagement with remaining employees

Coaching Talent for Growth - Empowering Supervisors to Develop Their Teams
April 8, 2025 9:00 -12:00 Noon PT
HR Answers Seminar Series

This engaging program is designed to help supervisors and managers shift from merely directing employees to truly developing them. This session will focus on coaching techniques that empower leaders to unlock their team’s potential, foster skill development, and inspire long-term growth.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the difference between traditional management and coaching, and why coaching is essential for employee development
- Utilize effective coaching techniques, such as active listening, powerful questioning (to evoke discovery, insight, or a commitment to action), and empathetic feedback
- Understand the different coaching models available for the best approach given the goal
- Create tailored development plans that align with employees’ strengths and career aspirations
- Build trust and rapport with team members to foster an environment of growth and accountability
- Develop a mindset that encourages continuous learning, development, and improvement within their teams
- Recognize the long-term benefits of investing in coaching as a tool for both individual and organizational success
Gallup research confirms that employees are happiest when their boss takes a personal interest in them and their skills and talents are put to good use. Employees want to be valued for the contributions they make. This program will help you build more of that partnership.
