Lean and mean: workforce 2000 in America

Abstract

Corporate downsizing or restructuring has reached epidemic proportions and left many victims and survivors in its wake. Although some corporations are now finding that they have overdone downsizing or restructuring, these efforts to re‐engineer themselves were necessary for many of them. The issue here is not the need to change our work environment, but rather how we communicate those changes. Deals primarily with the problems that survivors of reorganization face and offers some communication‐oriented solutions.
