Asking the CLO to train the employees so that redundancies are reduced, or to ensure that that employees are focused and showing signing of a higher learning curve would have been a better task to have asked. In this case the CLO could probably do a study analysis of employee past performance appraisals. After doing the study he would want to rate them and then sort them out in terms of performances and rating. He would then have to compare these to his studies and the organization’s expectation of learning. Once this information has all been compiled the CLO will be able to make a decision which employees have the potential of continuing to learn and be productive and those that will not.
For example, if company is in the business of research, then research analyst has to be preserved coz they are core asset as far as business is concerned. Excess staffs from support functions like accounts, admin etc, will be considered first for laying off.

2.
