Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a company decides the bottom 5% of employees just… shouldn’t be there anymore?Well, if you’re Accenture, you call it a strategy. Everyone else might call it something closer to corporate survival of the fittest.In this episode, we break down Accenture’s approach to upskilling employees while simultaneously cutting the lowest performers — because nothing motivates people quite like the looming threat of being next on the list.We dig into: The logic behind performance-based workforce cuts Whether “upskill or you’re out” is actually effective… or just stressful  How these strategies impact employee morale, retention, and culture And whether this is smart HR strategy or just a more polished version of layoffs If your company has ever talked about “raising the bar,” this episode might help you understand what that really means.Spoiler: it’s probably not a team-building exercise.Support the showWe want to hear from you.Text us  or leave a voicemail (252) 564-9899‬email: [email protected] to:* Share a dumb employee question* Share a crazy story* Ask us a question* Share a  best practice * Give us feedbackOur Link Tree below has links to our social media sites,  Patreon, Apple podcasts, Spotify & more.Please leave a review on your favorite podcast player and interact with us online!Linktree - https://linktr.ee/jadedhrFollow Cee Cee on IG - BoozyHR @ https://www.instagram.com/boozy_hr/
