are you considering layoffs?

before you do…

…consider the alternatives

Economic conditions, outsourcing, imports or foreign ownership are causes of stress for many companies.  This stress can lead to a business crisis which can result in layoffs.  Sometimes this can’t be avoided.  However, may times it can!  New Hampshire has many services and resources that can help a company address anticipated problems before they become a reality. 

Employee Retention helps companies when they first begin to address issues that could impact their workforce.  The goal is to find solutions to the current issues, address alternatives and prevent reduction in workforce.

Call early before your concerns become reality.  Layoff aversion is the goal.  However, if a layoff is necessary, minimizing the impact is priority.

There are options available to you.  

The following link will take you to the Layoff Aversion Guide which is published by the Federal Department of Labor. It is very informative regarding Layoff Aversion. http://www.steelvalley.org/files/lag.pdf
