In this week's Careers Newsletter, BoF's Workplace and Talent Correspondent Sheena Butler-Young offers Advice From Fashion CEOs on Leading in a Recession.

As the pandemic moves into the rearview and the reality of high inflation and a possible recession comes into focus, fashion leaders are charting their next steps. They are weighing how to keep workers happy amid a lingering labour shortage, even though resources are getting tighter and layoffs are on the agenda again at many firms.

But, with the labour shortage top of mind, many employers are hoping to make layoffs a last resort and will think twice before cutting jobs (like store roles) that may have been first to go in past recessions. (As of September, there were 1.9 job openings to available worker in the US, per the Bureau of Labour Statistics, and store roles remain among the hardest to fill.)
