Downsizing can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Although layoffs are common, other approaches include hiring freezes, natural attrition, and reducing horizontal and vertical complexity. Self-managed teams can act as substitutes for a level of management. Horizontally, functions can be combined or removed altogether by contracting them out.
