Overview: The aim of this paper is to investigate downsizing approaches and their employment implications across several industries in Belgium. Therefore, a categorization scheme of different downsizing approaches was theoretically developed and validated with a sample of 19 downsizing cases in Belgium-based organizations across different industries. The categorization scheme represents a two-dimensional model. The first continuum of the model represents the time frame (reactive to proactive) of downsizing strategies, while the second continuum represents the focus of reorientation practices towards the internal or external labor market. Based on this categorization scheme, employment implications were explored.
