When Clients Bring Us In
Organizations typically engage Glacier Point Advisory at one of three critical moments:
1.
When layoffs or restructuring are being considered
Leadership needs objective, data-driven scenarios, cost and headcount implications, and a clear recommendation before final decisions are made.
2.
When a reduction has been approved and a target date is approaching
The organization requires structured plans, headcount identification, day-of playbooks, communication strategies, and manager enablement to execute consistently, compassionately, and in alignment with legal and HR best practices.
3.
When a reduction has recently occurred and stability is at risk
Executives are focused on retention, morale, and rebuilding trust, and need a 30-, 60-, and 90-day stabilization plan to re-align the organization and protect key talent.
Glacier Point Advisory provides steady, impartial support across all three stages—before, during, and after a workforce reduction—so leaders don’t have to navigate their most difficult decisions alone.
