This session will give you a practical guide to planning for and implementing an effective Reduction In Force (RIF) within your organization and still get a thank you at the end. 

Track: Talent Management

In today’s turbulent economic times, many HR professionals find themselves facing budget reductions requiring reorganization or other organizational transitions including a reduction in work force. These decisions cannot be made lightly and will have an impact on the entire organization and even broader implications for the community. Because of the sensitive nature of a reduction in work force, it is important to handle the process of separating staff with dignity and respect. This session will focus on a practitioners experience of downsizing at several corporations including Staples and Hickory Farms. You will walk away with guidelines, resources and tips to help plan and implement a reduction in work force decision.
