Manage episode 357916198 series 2873578
DETAILS | What does it feel like to be laid off? What if you and your significant other were laid off the same year? In this TDW Trends episode, we take a deeper look at layoffs. We start with the landscape and stats, but then we drop in, and Nate shares how he and his wife were laid off within months of each other. It was a shock to their lives, identities, and bank account. The trend of layoffs will continue, but here’s the question: Is it possible to make layoffs more thoughtful, empathetic, generative, and even culture-building? To answer that question, we examine recent layoff memos from a human-centered leadership approach and unpack the best practices. Finally, we marvel at the empathy ChatGPT brings to writing layoff letters. To everyone who has been laid off, we feel your pain; this too shall pass, great things are ahead, and this episode is for you!
OVERVIEW | Are you ready to ADAPT and REINVENT YOURSELF for the most disrupted and digital workforce in history? What would it feel like to belong and not get stuck? It is estimated over 1 billion people will need reskilling by 2030, and more than 300 million jobs will be impacted by AI — work, identity, and what it means to be human are rapidly changing. Join hosts Nate Thompson and Alex Schwartz and the TOP VOICES in the Future of Work to uncover how to meet this dynamic new reality driven by AI, hybrid work, societal shifts, and our increasingly digital world. Discover why a Future of Work Mindset is your key to prepare, navigate and thrive!
