I have a question: A firm is planning to downsize its current employees. How should they do it so it has the least impact on remaining employees morale after the downsize?

What are the effects of low morale at work?

Decreased productivity and engagement Employee morale tends to be low when people feel less motivated to help the company succeed. Without a team of engaged employees, it’s difficult for managers to build momentum towards objectives. Research shows that employees experiencing low morale at work may also demonstrate a higher level of absenteeism.

The advantage of administering personality tests on employees is that it will allow the employer to know the mindset and personality of the employee. this will allow the employer to at least have an idea as to how the employee works and how his attitude in the workplace. the disadvantage is that it may make the employee a little anxious as to whether he would meet the personality requirements of the employer and whether he would be able to retain the job or not.
