Recession or crisis is the part of the normal cycle of business. It is certain that these will sooner or later occur.

What can HR do?
HR needs to be proactive and come up with early interventions as for any organization to survive during recession the ability to retain its best people is essential. During these days,sometimes HR people even take the harsh decision of reducing the numbers and end up downsizing. The word downsizing is even taken as rightsizing and optimizing but we should know not to ignore the fact that neither the bad situations nor the good conditions last long.
Downsizing process
• Revised leave structure for all employees
• Reduction in the different component of pay packages
• Identifying the non-value added activities and resources
• Threats to employee emotional engagement
When the going is tough, it is a must for HRM and its managers to Challenge the Challenges and the only remedy is just not mere downsizing but downsizing the dignified way.
