Conducting Compassionate and Lawful Reductions-in-Force (RIFs) and other Workforce Restructurings

Workforce reductions are some of the most difficult decisions an organization can make—and also some of the most operationally complex. In the wake of economic uncertainty, employers face heightened scrutiny around how reductions are planned, communicated, and executed. From developing lawful selection criteria to ensuring compliance requirements are met, careful planning can minimize workforce disruption and reduce the risk of costly claims later.

This webinar will walk through best practices and key compliance considerations before, during, and after a restructuring. Our seasoned practitioners who have assisted with hundreds of RIFs and other employment termination programs will share practical guidance on effective alternatives to RIFs, standard severance practices, building effective and defensible RIF processes, training managers for empathetic communications and consistent execution, and mitigating risks tied to selections, documentation, final pay, and post-employment obligations.

We'll also highlight how ComplianceHR's Reference Center helps employers navigate notice, release, final pay and other requirements on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, giving HR teams a practical resource to ensure compliance. You'll leave with a clearer roadmap for navigating workforce reductions while protecting both your organization and your remaining employees.
