  • INDUSTRY TRENDS
    ***Most Companies Try to Avoid Layoffs*** “Most companies plan to implement cost-cutting measures within a year by placing a major emphasis on improving efficiency,” says Kevin P. Oakes, CEO of the Institute for Corporate Productivity. “Most companies will also consider cutting discretionary spending and are already considering seeking lower costs from vendors. By contrast, most companies do not plan to reduce head count. The most likely cutback targets are in operations, closely followed by administration and the use of external vendors/outsourced partners. There is a tendency for companies to utilize HR as a place for reducing costs. The least likely areas for cost-cutting measures are research and development. In this uncertain economic environment, it is clear companies are intent on not being caught flat-footed. So far, it's looking more like careful surgery than a bloodbath. Layoffs don't seem to be the first choice for a lot of companies.”
