Reduction in Force
Compliant & Compassionate Layoffs
Let’s face it. A layoff is distressing for everyone involved. It’s painful to part with employees, especially when it’s not their fault. Combined with the complex compliance requirements, it’s no surprise layoffs make waves throughout the workplace. Though the process will never be pleasant, there is an easier way to say goodbye. Our layoff management tool has the features you need to ensure consistent, compliant, and supportive employee exits.
