Nobody plans a reduction in force twice if they can help it. These guides are for the employer side of that decision, written from nearly two decades of work on both sides of the hiring table.
The coverage runs from the legal groundwork through to what happens after people leave. Which laws apply to a permanent layoff and when you'll want counsel involved. How severance and release agreements should be built. Why executive level employees expect something different from the rest of the workforce. What social media does to a company's name when departures aren't handled well.
There are Michigan case studies here too, including a Grand Rapids reduction covering 64 employees and a Lansing program where 97 percent were placed within four and a half months.
