Rapid Response and Lay-Off Aversion Services
In order to improve a proactive layoff aversion framework and guidance, ARIZONA@WORK will partner with businesses to identify risk of layoff and provide solutions for aversion strategies. One of the most effective strategies include customizing our Rapid Response activities to help our Arizona businesses minimize layoff events. These activities are intended to help retain employees, upskill current employees and keep the business open.
