Reduction in Force

Determine the Impact

A reduction in force is never easy to plan. Determining the selection criteria, budgeting for severance, and planning the organizational restructuring needed to continue operations can take weeks of cross-functional planning and coordinating. A misstep or wrong decision can hurt efforts to reduce costs or expose your organization to legal risk. That's why it’s important to have an expert analyze your reduction in force or furlough before it occurs to ensure that staffing changes do not result in adverse impact on any protected classes. Alternatively, a RIF analysis can be conducted afterwards to understand the impact and defend the process.

RIF analytics can be conducted on categories including race/ethnicity, sex, and age, and be customized to consider relevant variables like performance ratings, tenure, incentive offers, and other eligibility metrics. When difficult decisions have to be made, partner with the experts in EEO analytics to minimize your organization's legal risk.
