NEW: I've seen and read about so many poorly conducted layoffs and the truth is - even if you're going to do a shitty terrible thing, there's a way to do it thoughtfully and equitably. I think so many HR professionals and company leaders know they need to do layoffs and have no idea how to do them well.

That's where my guide comes in. 

"The Layoff Guide: A guide for HR professionals to do a shitty thing in a less shitty way" is a 28-page document that provides detailed instructions, scripts, and templates to help you plan, execute and deal with the aftermath of a company layoff. It's a guide to help your company mitigate risk but it's also a guide to supporting the people impacted by your company's decisions.
