Professor emeritus David Noer’s updated version of his 1995 book Healing the Wounds: Overcoming the Trauma of Layoffs and Revitalizing Downsized Corporations was published this month, providing readers insight for managing layoffs and how corporations can create healthier worker relationships.
Noer’s book has already received attention from the American Management Association, BusinessWeek, Psychology Today and several other media outlets.
The book “offers up a profound prescription” for helping employees, survivors and organizations manage with the layoffs that have become common in the current economic crisis.
In addition to Healing the Wounds, he has written four other books: Multinational People Management, How to Beat the Employment Game, Jobkeeping, and Breaking Free. He also writes a monthly column for the News & Record in Greensboro, N.C.
Noer, who taught in the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, received a BA degree from Gustavus Adolphus College, an MS degree in organization development from Pepperdine University, and a doctorate in business administration with a concentration in organizational behavior and a supporting field of executive mental health from George Washington University.
