You are invited to this no cost interactive breakfast seminar that is designed for employers who are dealing with the impact of a volatile economy and a changing work force.

While we can only hope that the worst may be over, every day still brings mixed economic news. Layoffs, especially mass layoffs, continue to be one of the most challenging maneuvers for a company to carry out. Tension is in the air, uncertainty reigns, morale is in jeopardy, the company's trade secrets and customer relationships are at risk, and the threat of legal claims looms. This program will address the legal and organizational strategies that offer best practices in:

Making Reductions In Force Run Smoothly

Creating a Positive Communication Plan During the Downsizing Process

Critical Steps to Avoid Litigation

Planning for and Conducting Individual Terminations

Strategies to Protect Against Trade Secret Misappropriation

What to do with “Surviving” Employees

How to Help the Senior Management Team Behave

This program has been submitted to HCRI for recertification credits.
