Blue Harbor Group works with your team to plan and implement employee reduction programs for the organization.
We strive to learn your business through ongoing communication with you so that we are prepared to address your needs due to expansions, reorganizations and reductions. Our goal is to work proactively with you to arrive at the most effective programs.
When dealing with a reduction in force, our early involvement can often limit the disruption to your operation. Elements of our proven approach include:
Pre-Separation Planning
Our goal with this service is to make certain all impacted parties, and all monetaqry and legal considerations have been addressed. Specific areas addressed are:
- Program selection and customization to meet budget requirements for all levels in the organization; executives, managers, professionals, internal staff and production employees.
- Notification planning and coordination for one individual or thousands of employee notifications. Additionally, if you have multiple locations, we are prepared to coordinate notification utilizing our local, national and international offices.
- Communication planning with your management team to prepare the message delivered internally and externally.
Notification Training
A critical, but often overlooked, aspect of a reduction is the actual notification process. Blue Harbor Group prepares your management team to deliver effective notification meetings and separation messages to minimize conflict, and reduce legal exposure to the organization.
On-Site Notification Support
Our experience has taught us the value of quickly refocusing the separated employee on their transition process. Blue Harbor Group is available anytime and anywhere to assist your notification process on an individual or group basis. The benefit of our participation in this difficult task is to:
-
Manage employees reactions by focusing on their individuality, and treating them with dignity.
- Outlining the next steps of their career transition process.
A side benefit of a well performed notification is that the remaining employees recognize the care you have taken and your concern for the separated employee’s wellbeing. The result is it allows them to adapt and recover more quickly.
