Managing the emotions surrounding layoff conversations

Sept. 29, 2025

Delivering layoff messages generates a range of emotions for both the manager delivering the message and the employee receiving it. This training on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 11 a.m. to noon can help you better understand these emotions so that you can stay in control of the situation and do your best, instead of allowing the emotions to take over and negatively impact the conversation and your own well-being.

The training is intended for managers, supervisory staff and HR professionals who will deliver workforce reduction announcements.
