As the recession deepens, an increasing number of nonprofit
organizations must look more closely at cutting costs — and at the grim
possibility of laying off employees.
In turn, many employees who have felt safe in their positions are now worried about the stability of their jobs.
What can employees do to prove that they are indispensable? What steps
should they take to bring more value to their organizations?
What can employers do to ease the fears of staff members and inspire them to improve their performance at this critical time?
