Our recommended actions for you
A crisis calls for transformation – before, during and after. This is a matter of corporate culture, in which the HR department has a big part to play. After all, every profound change has a huge impact on people and their capabilities. Recognising this, crisis-proof companies express solidarity with their personnel, reduce personnel costs in an intelligent way, think in scenarios and take action while giving consideration to what will happen afterwards.
