Lead a workforce reduction that’s as seamless – and trauma-free – as possible.

Proper planning will put your entire team at ease as you navigate a workforce reduction. Whether you are laying off 1 person or 100, stress is high during this difficult time. This ultimate checklist will help.

It is specifically designed to guide you through the 4 phases:

1. Phase 1: Making the Decision
2. Phase 2: Planning & Preparation
3. Phase 3: Managing Notification Day
4. Phase 4: Leading Company Recovery

Planning ahead reduces risks to your business. In addition, it also gives your HR team and managers clear direction. As you evaluate your company’s mission, future direction, and business reasons, our workforce reduction checklist creates a clear path toward success for everyone.

We’ve used other outplacement firms, many of them offer services by way of rhetoric. Unlike the others, IMPACT Group delivers a strong experience and high value, demonstrating that Grainger values all employees – including those who are leaving.
