During an economic downturn, a company instituted an across-the-board pay cut rather than lay people off. What are the advantages of such an action?

What will be an ideal response?


By instituting an across-the-board pay cut, the organization is seen as being socially responsible and compassionate. And by keeping the work force intact, the organization won't find itself short-handed when the economy picks up. This will save considerable time and money related to recruitment, selection, and training. And, the quality of the company's customer service is maintained.
