Layoff Aversion & Downsizing Solutions

Strategies For Your Business

SCMW! bring together a dedicated team to work with companies considering layoffs. We offer layoff aversion strategies that can prevent the layoff, or minimize operational disruptions if a layoff is eminent.

The Joint Adjustment Committee (JAC) works with the business to minimize the effects of the layoff, and helps affected employees cope with the traumatic effects of job loss and make a speedy transition back into the workforce. The JAC speeds the outplacement of workers and benefits employers by:

• Lowering unemployment taxes - JACs can reduce the length of unemployment insurance claims by helping workers find new employment more quickly.
• Reducing administrative burdens - By overseeing and managing outplacement and readjustment, the JAC permits managers to concentrate on the other activities associated with a facility closure or downsizing.
• Continuing productivity - Productivity and quality can drop when morale flags. As a visible expression of commitment to the future of affected workers, a JAC helps to sustain morale and reduces negative acts by discouraged workers.
• Providing a communication forum - JACs serve as a source of reliable information and dispel rumors that can disrupt the work place.
