<ul><li>Digest, you are no longer a part of your current firm and your monthly in-hand will completely be dried up in the next couple of months (depending on your firm’s HR policy) if you don’t have any secondary source of income. The sooner you train your mind and body with this reality the better your chances become to fight.</li><li>Pro Tip: Don’t spend your resources in getting back to the HR/Managers as this won’t be of any help since the decision is already made and there are very fine to no chances of rebuttable.</li></ul>

Digest, you are a part of layoff program

Be honest with yourself, family, friends and professional network. There’s no harm in announcing (probably on all your social handles) that you are open for opportunities, who knows what’s waiting for you on the other side. If you want to change your industry, business role or even upgrade yourself, this would be the best time to hit that nail.Pro Tip: Make sure you keep conversing with your family and friends, if condition allows, schedule a visit to the ones with whom you love spending time. Keeping your mind at peace and relaxed will def help creative solutions to flow in.

Be Honest!

Can’t emphasise enough the importance of sending cold emails, LinkedIn connection requests or maybe joining Facebook groups. Remember, before sending any cold text it is important to gain understanding about the firm, role, etc, and prepare your job application/resume in accordance with the company’s vision and requirement.Pro Tip: Create cover letters, resumes (and customise your resume as per need of the role for which you are applying) briefly explaining your skillsets and how this you would be able to connect dots for your career/personal progression if you join this role/company.

Send cold emails to all the recruiters/connections in your network.

Leaders also develop multiple ways to give shout-outs to their team members to let that spirit burning. We have seen a lot of unique ways by how leaders keep their team motivated by giving weekly and even daily shout-outs or special mentions. But this won’t last for long as leaders/manager end up maintaining a pattern to give shout-out i.e once a week or month. Team members also (sometimes) start assuming this as a part of management’s cadence and they start expecting “special mentions” even if they are just meeting their daily expectations or performing an inch better than their peers.

Expectations From Management 

<ul><li>Remember, the act of catching them doing right and acknowledging their efforts should be done on a random basis (try not to follow a pattern, like a day, particular event, etc). Also, this shouldn’t be combined or confused with teachable moments or conventional special mentions.</li><li>It’s okay if you don’t want to involve the whole team to acknowledge such “right doings”. This could be done by sending a personalised “Thank you” note to team members.</li><li>Those couple of lines would not only make his day but also motivate him to keep doing what he aims to do for the customers and thrive to become better.</li></ul>
