Reducing Risk for Reductions in Force

Julie Athey

New and alarming trends are changing the way you manage your workforce and demanding your attention. These trends are too complex and critical to cover fully in a monthly newsletter. That's why we created HR Executive Special Reports.

About the Report
Whatever you call it -- downsizing, rightsizing, layoffs, or a reduction in force (RIF) -- one of the primary goals of a workforce reduction is to cut costs and become more competitive. But if done wrong, a RIF can leave your organization vulnerable to litigation and actually make your business LESS profitable. Now, this plain-English report explains the complex laws that apply to downsizing scenarios, the common pitfalls to avoid, and how to effectively negotiate the obstacles presented by each.
