Downsizing

Also known as: Reducing, Rightsizing, Shrinking, Streamlining

Downsizing is a strategic business decision involving the reduction of a company’s workforce, typically through layoffs, to improve financial stability or increase operational efficiency. This process may also include restructuring or eliminating certain departments, roles, or services. While potentially beneficial for the company’s bottom line, downsizing can have significant impacts on employee morale and the community.
