13. How to Support Your Team Through Redundancy: Lessons from the Twitter Layoffs (Part 2 of 2)

Listen Later

In the previous episode, we left things on a bit of a bombshell - the Global Head of Wellness at Twitter was unsure if Twitter would survive!

Following Elon's acquisition of Twitter on the 27th of October 2022, he promptly fired almost 50% of the staff. However, it's how he did it that has angered people.

In this episode, we continue our conversations with our experts and look more into the impact of these layoffs.

  1. We get the expert opinion on how the brand and PR were handled from Stephen Waddington, a PR guru, the visiting professor of PR for Newcastle University and a former head of CIPR.
  2. We get the Twitter inside story from Dr Candice Schaefer, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Mental Health and Wellness Strategist, and until earlier this year the Global Head of Employee Wellness at Twitter.
  3. We learn best the practice for managing crisis from Arun Krishnakumar, Graduate of the University of Oxford & London School of Economics, and author of 'Restaup: A Founders Guide to Crisis Navigation'.
  4. Leanne tells her story of how she was made redundant and outlines some great ways to deal with it.


    5. Let's get stuck in!
