Second “Navigating the Economy” Podcast Highlights Human Resource Concerns
To prepare firm principals for the possibility of an economic downturn, Rena Klein, FAIA, whose management consulting firm is based in Seattle, offers her advice on maintaining staff when work dries up or, if it becomes necessary, how best to downsize a firm and maintain good relationships with departing talent. She also has ideas for putting “found time” to good use in preparation for the inevitable recovery. With interviewer Ray Rhinehart, PhD, Hon. AIA, Klein offers 20 minutes of podcast insight into how, as she says, “tough times can be an opportunity to strengthen staff commitment and enthusiasm and take advantage of your staff’s intelligence and ability.” Download the podcast free from the AIA Web site.
