Human Capital Strategy Series Surviving the Three R's: Reassessment, Retrenchment and Reengagement

In a challenging economic environment, organizations reexamine their operational processes, business strategy and the resulting impact on their workforce. Often, the need to maintain profitability and stability results in a reduction in force. This four part podcast series examines Human Capital Strategy and how to successfully implement the three key phases of a RIF: Reassessment, Retrenchment and Reengagement.

Part 1: Human Capital Strategy
Human Capital Strategy is the connection between employees to the overall business strategy of an organization. When contemplating a reduction in force, employers must make strategic changes to reduce human capital expenses. This podcast will discuss best practices when establishing a new human capital strategy, including identifying operational inefficiencies, key talent versus key positions and the evolving company priorities affecting employees.

Part 3: Retrenchment
Due to the organizational changes and emotional charged nature of a RIF, it is essential that all companies have a clear and detailed action plan for implementation. This podcast will discuss issues of critical importance including communications with employees, legal and compliance issues, compensation packages and the treatment of both employees being layed off and those remaining.

Part 4: Reengagement
After a RIF, employee morale is low and employees are concerned as to the future of their jobs and the company in general.
