What's a good way to say this. I considered "imploding market" but that might be too dramatic...
Sowohl bei der Auswahl als auch bei der Fuehrung der Mitarbeiter bewies Herr Dr. Tollmensch eine glueckliche Hand, wodurch die Arbeitsatmosphaere im Unternehmen - trotz der immer wieder erforderlichen Anpassungsmassnahmen aufgrund des *einbrechenden Marktes* - durch Offenheit, Kooperativitaet, Kreativitaet und Leistungsstaerke gepraegt war.
In selecting as well as managing staff Dr. Tollmensch demonstrated a glueckliche hand, as a result of which the work atmosphere in the company – despite the constantly necessary adjustment/anpassungs measures due to the einbrechenden market – was always marked by openness, cooperation, creativity and high performance.

Comment: "I think "slump" could work too but it sounds like it was a fairly serious market problem. Also, Kieran, collapse & crash for me are quite strong is you're talking about a market (that's when people jump out of windows etc.)"

: "collapse" would be "Zusammenbruch". Einbruch is simply a slump.

Maybe you're right, but I don't think 'collapse' is always as strong in English as 'Zusammenbruch' in German. Collins gives 'collapse' and 'crash' as possible translations of 'Einbruch'.
