Planning for and Avoiding Layoffs

Benefits to Your Workers
 The
decision to lay off employees is one no employer wants to
make. However, as layoffs do occur, inviting Rapid Response
to meet with affected workers prior to the layoff will allow
your employees to access services and programs that will
help them through this difficult time. Rapid Response can provide your employees with
information and services, including:
- Career counseling and finding a job
- Résumé preparation and interviewing skills workshops
- Information on education, scholarships and retraining
opportunities
- Labor Market Information (LMI) and Occupation Data
- Unemployment Insurance
- Community-based services
- And much more!
These services and resources are available for your workers
at your nearby IowaWORKS Centers. Your workers will have
access and use of computers, telephones, and fax machines;
resume and job search preparation, financial planning and
stress management workshops; financial support for training;
income support for production jobs lost due to foreign
competition; and special services for veterans and adults
with disabilities. IowaWORKS Centers are open to the public
including those who have been laid off from their job.
In addition, Rapid Response on-site meetings will introduce
your workers to representatives of many other programs that
can help them through this transition. Perhaps the most
important of these partners is the IowaWORKS Centers. This
one-stop system was designed to bring together many separate
partners to seamlessly provide an array of services, from
résumé preparation to job search to placement to supportive
services, to anyone who wishes to have access to these
services. Iowa’s network is open to all residents, including
those who have been laid off or expect to be laid off from
their job. The IowaWORKS Centers also have services tailored
to meet the workforce needs of local employers.
For more information, contact your
State Rapid Response
Coordinator.
