Coaching and the Survivors


At present the economy is in a potentially wide and deep recession. Many businesses are closing. But not all of them. Many are making swingeing staff cuts in order to remain trading. Many people are losing their jobs as a result but there are also survivors. Analysis of the business sector indicates that there is a growing phenomenon that has become known as survivorship and involves those who stay on.
Often such survivors experience a period of intense disorientation, guilt and remorse because they have survived whilst their workmates have gone. They need to work through the grieving process as they traverse the grief curve. This is another operational challenge where executive coaching can help staff to retain their skills and capability during testing times.
Diomedea Executive Coaching has teamed up with the Glasgow consultancy authentic change to provide a series of tailored programmes for survivors to help retain and develop their capability. Coaching is a key part of the programme.
So if you are worried about your workforce after being forced to make cuts help is at hand. Give us a call on 01786 8254507 or 07757 062810.
