2. Define the problem statement (the why and the what) in the following situation. Companies benefit from employee loyalty. Crude downsizing in organizations during the recession crushed the loyalty of millions.

In order that these benefits are not lost, some companies, while downsizing, try various gimmicks. Flex leave, for instance, is one.

Others try alternatives like more communication, hand-holding, and the like.
