Layoff Survivors

Layoff survivors are employees who remain with a company after others have been laid off. They may experience a range of emotions, such as relief, gratitude, or guilt, and often face increased workloads and stress as they take on responsibilities of those who were let go. Their perception of job security can also decline, leading to concerns about future layoffs. Understanding their experience is important for organizations to provide support, maintain morale, and ensure productivity during and after this transition period.
