Don't sweat -- or cut -- the small stuff

This year will be tough for a lot of companies, perhaps including yours, and pressure to save money will increase. You'll wonder "What -- and how much of it -- should I cut?" or "What shouldn't I cut?" Of the latter, refrain from axing perks such as coffee, occasional food treats, and long-established company parties, outings, and other celebrations. At times when people are fearful and withdraw into themselves, events that draw them out and offer factual proof that they're not alone benefit the organization as well as the workforce.
