RIF 360™ Employee Transition Support
Human-centered support for employees directly affected by a reduction in force—focused on dignity, clarity, and steadiness during transition.
What Employee Transition Support Includes
RIF 360™ Leadership Support provides hands-on guidance to executives, HR, and people leaders before, during, and after a reduction in force. This work focuses on decision readiness, communication sequencing, and leader preparation—so difficult moments are handled with intention rather than improvisation.
Support is practical, structured, and grounded in real workplace dynamics. The goal is not perfection, but steadiness, clarity, and trust preservation at every step.
How the Employee Transition Support Works
Providing calm, grounded support during the initial conversation and immediate aftermath—so employees understand what is happening, what comes next, and where to turn for help.
Immediate Support (Day-Of)
Ensuring employees receive clear, consistent information about timelines, next steps, benefits, and points of contact—reducing confusion and unnecessary stress.
Clarity & Orientation
Emotional & Psychological Steadiness
Acknowledging the emotional impact of a layoff without minimizing or rushing it—creating space for people to process the moment with respect.
Supporting next-day and short-term check-ins so employees are not left feeling forgotten once the announcement has passed.
Follow-Up & Check-Ins
Helping organizations ensure that final interactions, handoffs, and communications are handled cleanly, respectfully, and without unnecessary friction.
Transition With Dignity
Not traditional outplacement or job placement services
Not therapy or mental health treatment
Not generic “wellbeing” programming
Not rushed, transactional off-boarding
RIF 360™ Employee Transition Support exists to protect dignity during disruption—not to accelerate people past it.
What This Support Is Not
Employee Transition Support Is Best For
Organizations that want to support departing employees as people—not just processes—and understand that how employees leave shapes trust, reputation, and long-term culture.
How This Fits Within RIF 360™
Employee Transition Support is one part of the broader RIF 360™ approach. It works alongside leadership advisory support and self-guided resources to ensure both leaders and affected employees are supported through change.
