AT&T Rolls Out Future Ready Billion-Dollar Reskilling After Layoffs
Layoffs can leave remaining employees demoralized and less productive, with a LeadershipIQ study of 4,000 layoff survivors finding anger, anxiety and guilt, and 74% reporting productivity declines. Survivors also reported better outcomes when managers were visible and candid. The response was Future Ready, a billion-dollar reskilling program rebranded from Workforce 2020 with Coursera, Udacity, universities and an internal career center.
