No Surpise: Business Cutting Back
|
|
|
According to a study by the Institute for
Corporate Productivity, 88 percent of companies that were
surveyed plan to implement cost-cutting measures within a year.
When asked about how companies plan to reduce costs, 87 percent
said that efficiencies will be improved. Seventy-one percent
said they are considering cutting discretionary spending, while
65 percent will seek lower costs from vendors. The good news is

Thirty-five percent said they will look to their Human Relations
departments for cuts.
