Many articles offer guidance on how to recession-proof a business, but in truth, no one can do that with 100% certainty.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Instead, we have to examine the nuances of every situation, every team, and every individual whose career is at stake when a recession hits.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Outsourcing_Helps_During_a_Recession\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How Outsourcing Helps During a Recession<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:120,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Layoffs have clear costs and benefits. Unfortunately, the benefits do not always last as long as companies hope. Instead of thriving by cutting thousands of dollars in salaries, companies might discover that a narrow talent pool in their organization has funneled their creativity and innovation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Restricting your company to a smaller team could ultimately cost more. Rather than risk losing talent and profit, companies can explore alternatives to layoffs, including outsourcing.
