Rapid Response is the process of ensuring that workers facing potential job loss have quick access to readjustment services to help them become reemployed.
Employee Benefits:
Rapid Response also allows individuals to participate in long-term training programs to become reskilled in “demand” occupations, making it less likely they will be affected by future layoffs.
Employer Benefits:
Statistics show that workers tend to have a more positive attitude towards their current employer and production levels are maintained when they have access to the “pre-layoff” services provided by Rapid Response.
Community Benefits:
Rapid Response can help organize community institutions to work together and develop marketing strategies that are essential to revitalizing the area, attracting new industry and replacing the jobs lost due to the mass layoff.
