When you have more people you can share responsibility more evenly but if they have a set amount of workers to do all these tasks it becomes difficult to do and causes stress.2.Having a layoff can cause the other employee burnout making them frustrated and mentually not ready to perform their task. 3.Layoff causes other employees to quit. Two additional ways that layoffs can affect the organization as a whole.1.Causes a decrease in innovative ideas.2.Affect of the company morale and motivation.At least two ways to retain remaining employees after a layoff.1.Build a strategic and valued based program.2.Rebalance the workload to fit the needs of remaining employees.Two ways of ensuring that you are abiding by the laws that govern employment and ethical practices.1.Documenting policies and procedures and applying them.2.Stay current with changing laws and regulations and remove barriers to compliance.Ashla,2022 10:08:04 PM EDT Bobbi Marshall RE: Week 5 DiscussionLayoffs can affect organizations in several ways. Layoffs are brought on by downsizing and/or loss of business. Laying off staff is a way an organization can save money by reducing payroll and benefits. There can be positive affects to a layoff, but in most cases, layoffs tend to lead to negative effects. Discuss the effects of employee layoffs. Identify:Three ways that layoffs can affect other employees in the organization.1. Surviving employees are angry at the loss of experienced co-workers.2. Surviving employees experience insecurities concerning their future of their own job within the organization. 3. Layoffs put a heighten increase of responsibility on the surviving employees which increases stress. Remaining employees may feel overwhelmed by the workload. Two additional ways that layoffs can affect the organization as a whole.1. Remaining employees have a decrease in work performance, effort, and commitment. However, some employees have an increase in motivation, perform better, and want to exceed expectations since they were not selected as the layoff victims. 2. Survivors may experience a decrease in psychological stability and emotional health. This may also affect their personal lives and relationships.At least two ways to retain remaining employees after a layoff.1. Employers and HR management must ensure fair treatment of staff.2. HR practices should provide opportunities for personal development and training.3. Maintain open and honest communication.Two ways of ensuring that you are abiding by the laws that govern employment and ethical practices.1. Employers should conduct analysis to determine the impact of layoffs on women, older workers, and minority groups to avoid discrimination (Stewart, p. 261, 1). Older workers should not be replaced by younger workers. Organizations should follow affirmative action plans. 2. Employers must treat employees fair and keep communication honest.Thank you,BobbiSource:1. Greg L. Stewart. 2020. Human Resource Management. p. 258-261, 267. 4th ed. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
