1 Reach Out

After a layoff, it's important to reach out to your former colleagues. A simple message expressing your desire to stay in touch can go a long way. Remember to be sensitive and acknowledge the situation; this is not a time for casual banter or office gossip. Instead, focus on the well-being of your colleagues and offer your support. Sharing contact information and suggesting a future meet-up or check-in can help establish a foundation for ongoing communication.

2 Listen Actively

When you do have conversations with colleagues who have been laid off, practice active listening. This means fully concentrating on what is being said rather than just passively 'hearing' the message of the speaker. Active listening involves listening with all senses and giving full attention to the speaker. It's important to give them space to express their feelings and experiences without judgment, providing a supportive ear and, when appropriate, constructive feedback.

3 Be Consistent

Consistency is key in maintaining communication post-layoff. Establish a routine for reaching out, whether it's a weekly email, a monthly coffee catch-up, or regular updates via social media. This regularity shows your colleagues that you are committed to staying in touch and value the relationship. It also provides a sense of normalcy and stability during a time that can often feel uncertain and chaotic for those affected by layoffs.

Consistency is key to supporting colleagues after a layoff. Often, they will receive a lot of support in the early days and that will taper off when they need it the most. Monthly calls are a great way to do this - putting them in the calendar right off the bat will ensure that you have a regular cadence. Another great way to both keep in touch and help out is to make connections between your former colleagues and others in your network who may be able to help them either find a job or build skills that will help them in their search. And my number one tip - ask what they need when you talk to them. They may want a call to just vent or they may really want advice and connections. Let them lead the way and always respect their direction.

4 Use Technology

Leveraging technology can make staying in touch easier, especially when physical meetings are not possible. Utilize email, professional networking sites, and messaging apps to keep the conversation going. Video calls can also be particularly effective as they allow for face-to-face interaction, helping to maintain a more personal connection. Just be sure to choose platforms that everyone is comfortable with and that suit the level of formality appropriate for your relationship.

5 Offer Help

If you're in a position to do so, offering tangible help can be invaluable. This could involve providing references, making introductions to contacts in your network, or sharing job leads. Remember to be genuine in your offers of assistance; ensure that any help you propose is something you can follow through with. This type of support not only aids your colleagues in their job search but also strengthens the bond between you.

6 Stay Positive

Finally, it's important to stay positive and encourage your former colleagues to do the same. While it's okay to acknowledge the difficulties and uncertainties that come with layoffs, try to focus on the potential opportunities that lie ahead. A positive outlook can be contagious and may help your colleagues to cope better with their situation. Encourage them to see this as a chance to explore new ventures or career paths.
