For global organisations, undertaking a Reduction in Force (RIF) is an arduous and potentially risk-prone task.

Having a structured workflow that covers all the critical stages in the process will save you time and help you mitigate risk.

We have created a workflow roadmap to guide you through planning and implementing your RIF. It covers the four key stages:

  • Post-Completion

Our roadmap includes practical recommendations for the essential processes in each stage along with invaluable insights relevant across APAC.
