A Solution for Retaining Key Talent and Minimizing Risk

Workforce transitions put companies at risk. Whether part of a major restructuring event or a small reorganization, organizational change introduces uncertainty, slowdowns in productivity, loss of key employees, separation costs and potential litigation. A system to manage the processes associated with organizational change can mitigate this risk by reducing errors, enabling informed decisions, providing an audit trail and more.

Transition Manager enables faster, more effective and auditable decisions around retaining, integrating, redeploying or separating employees. The web-based solution provides HR, legal and management teams with tools to:

  • Define workforce separation events and populations Assess eligibility of each employee in the effected groups to save time and avoid errors
  • Make fact-based decisions and enable line management to provide input to decision-making process Model "what if" scenarios to understand actual and projected costs
  • Process the transactions associated with workforce separations
  • Provide self-service portals to efficiently and accurately communicate program details
  • Audit process and report on results

Strengthening the Organization for Survival Using Transition Manager to facilitate workforce change events instead of yellow pads and Excel spreadsheets saves countless administrative hours and protects the organization from legal risks. Typically, a three week reduction in decision and processing time saves $3,000 per separated employee ($1,000/week). The avoidance of a single legal claim can save millions of dollars.
