Layoffs have increased in recent times. With so much technological advancement, companies don’t find the need to focus on employee numbers. There can be many reasons for layoffs. The common ones are:

  • If the company stakeholder decides to relocate the company to another part of the country, it can reduce its workforce.

  • Shutting down companies can be a vital reason for laying off employees.

  • Cutting down expenses is another important reason to reduce employees.

  • If the company chooses to close part of its operations, it may lay off employees.
