There are two types of employees: the survivor and the displaced.  The displaced employee can be an advocate for your organization.  Whether the employee is demoted (for reasons of productivity or budget cuts) or terminated, they have the ability to influence current employees and effect the culture of your organization.  We all know that the moment an employee is demoted, laid-off, or terminated they do not terminate their relationships with what are now their past co-workers.

The question that requires an answer is this, “How can I, as an Human Resource Professional motivate displaced employees to be advocates for the organization?”  There is a strategy that exits within your language and your ability to remain in control through the use of gestures, postures, tones and facial expressions.  There is also a tool that can guide your strategy.

In this one-hour lecture you will receive the tool and the strategy.

Goal:  Provide a strategy to motivate the displaced employee to become an advocate for the organization.

Goal:  Provide a tool to inform participants how to manage gestures, postures, tones and facial expressions to effectively invite displaced employees into becoming advocates for the organization. 

Goal:  Provide three words to avoid when motivating all employees, both the survivor and the displaced.

Goal:  Provide a process to avoid power struggles between surviving and displaced employees.

In a recent study in the April/May issue of 2009 Academy of Management Journal, it was reported that 87 percent of surviving employees say they are less likely to recommend their organization as a good place to work.
