Reduction in force (RIFs) are a fact of corporate life, even in a thriving economy. Not surprisingly, RIFs are fertile ground for employment claims. Managed poorly, RIFs can magnify the very cost concerns they were intended to ameliorate. We have put together some resources for you to begin with. Before you start your RIF consult with an Attorney or Employment Law Specialists.

Once you've made the decision to reduce staff you should begin the process of putting together your outplacement program. More than 80% of all companies who downsize offer outplacement services to their displaced staff. Outplacement is a great solution to ensuring that your staff is taken care of. Haivng the right outplacement company in place through the entire process can benefit your organization many times over. Beyond handling your displaced staff Chandler Hill Partners outplacement programs offer many services to help guide and assist companies through this delicate process.
