Displaying Fairness While Delivering Bad News: Testing the Effectiveness of
Organizational Bad News Training in the Layoff Context

Managers are often underprepared, as a solution bad new training integrating concepts from
healthcare and justice theory.

Lay-offs, negative feedback, negative hiring, no promotion, warnings are examples of bad
news. This is stressful for both sides, the employee's self-esteem could feel hurt and uncertain
about the future, managers could feel responsible for harm, be afraid of damaging their own
image, guilty, and afraid of negative responses.

Introducing organizational bad new training

The bad news delivery component of training. Decreasing the stress and uncertainty of the
manager will improve his performance. The manager needs to clear about his role, sometimes

the news in an unambiguous and coherent manner throughout the conversation, and they should
demonstrate bias suppression by appealing to the facts instead of attributing the bad news to the
