SUPPORTING EMPLOYEES DURING RESTRUCTURING
By taking part in positive social change, the impact of an organization can extend not only to those who work for the organization, but also to society at large. Accountability and transparency can help an organization meet this opportunity, and there are many actions the HR department can take to help support a positive social change initiative.
