Today, the brand and reputation of a company matter more than ever as you face economic uncertainty and more competitive markets. While most organizations have spent at least a decade focusing on the employee experience, recognition and engagement, in late 2022, we saw a shift in the employment market that many people weren’t expecting —- layoffs. 

Suddenly, some tightly branded, formerly people-first companies  let people go in impersonal and transactional ways, damaging both their consumer and employer brands.
