When doing layoffs, consider a policy of doing more layoffs than necessary: immediately after layoffs will be a period of new hiring. The policy could be something like, every layoff of size N (number of jobs, or dollars) must be accompanied by new hires of size 0.1*N (for a net reduction of 0.9*N, so N =TR/0.9, where TR is target reduction).
This especially intended for large organizations with calcified inefficient power structures. This is an opportunity to bring in fresh blood to rebuild from scratch, a silver lining to economic downturns.
Inspired by Greek public sector layoffs.
