Case Study #2 (Downsizing) – Case Study Questions
Scenario 2 – Downsizing
You are the Human Resources Manager of TheBank Corporation and have been
convened to a special meeting with the head of the Corporation.
A presentation of the corporation’s latest financial situation was conducted, including
a risk analysis on the sale objectives that had been achieved during the same
period.
The Stakeholders shared their concerns about the Bank, as well as the recent
economic recession putting pressure on operations and were seeking quick
managerial decisions around staffing levels.
Managers as well as heads of departments were consulted to analyse the context of
the situation and were given a chance to actively participate in the development of
potential resolution actions. However, to adapt to the economic slowdown and
reduce costs, downsizing was selected as the most viable option.
The bank is consistently monitoring its liquidity coverage ratio to comply with APRA’s
ADI Prudential Standard 210, and the risk of a potential bank run following the
downsizing decision has been thoroughly assessed.
It has been agreed that two hundred employees will be laid off, and you have been
instructed to develop an ethical plan of action to determine the terms of this decision
and which workers are to be dismissed. You are also required to oversee the
creation of a transparent communication plan throughout the company.
Based on the supporting documentation and the information you hold, complete the
activities below.
These activities will assess your ability to apply an ethical framework and related
principles in order to make and act upon decisions.
