Layoff, job termination, staff reduction, whichever term you choose, the result is the same for the impacted individual - unexpected loss of income, benefits, sense of security, purpose and even their personal identity.
Having personally experienced this event twice in my professional career, I know how difficult it can be for those who find themselves in this situation. Initial feelings of disbelief, upset, concern, anger, anxiety, and fear start to envelop you, allowing self-doubt to usher in.
While it’s completely normal to react to such an unexpected event with all of these rollercoaster feelings and emotions, it’s how you respond following the event that can make all the difference in how you emerge, move forward and embrace what’s next.
