Supporting Departing Employees Through Grief Management PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 23-slide Re-engagement after Restructuring PowerPoint presentation, presents an Employee Reaction Matrix focused on the emotional state of "Departure Grief" experienced by employees during layoffs. It outlines the motivational drivers that contribute to this grief, highlighting several key stressors. The loss of earnings and benefits, such as pensions and health insurance, is identified as a primary concern, creating financial instability. The disruption of daily routines is noted as another significant factor, which can lead to emotional distress and requires time for adjustment.

Additionally, the slide discusses the broader impact on family life, emphasizing that lifestyle changes affect not just the individual, but their loved ones as well. Feelings of rejection and lowered self-esteem are also mentioned, stemming from being let go, which can exacerbate the emotional toll on the departing employee. The loss of financial empowerment, particularly for heads of households, places individuals in vulnerable positions, further intensifying their grief.

On the right side, the slide outlines key actions organizations can take to support departing employees. These include offering counseling sessions to help them cope with their emotional state, guiding them in preparing job applications and CVs, and assisting in finding alternative employment opportunities. The organization can also provide advice on how to effectively use any severance compensation.

This structured approach not only addresses the emotional challenges faced by departing employees, but also positions the organization as a supportive entity during a difficult transition. The insights here are crucial for organizations looking to manage layoffs with empathy while maintaining a positive relationship with former employees.
