What company has not faced a merger or downsizing? Such restructuring is highly disturbing for employees, who typically manifest symptoms of stress, demoralization and loss of trust in management.
""Charging Back Up the Hill"" does not pretend to provide ready-made solutions to prevent these symptoms. However, it emphasizes the importance of managing them, rather than simply resigning oneself to them. It consequently suggests several ways to boost employee morale after a difficult transition.
