Rapid Response presentations give employers an opportunity to provide affected employees with vital resources that help them get reemployed as soon as possible and or connect with supportive services to ease this difficult transition.

​

The presentations are provided at no cost and cover the following topics:

• Assistance programs for the affected employees

• Free career center services at the Workforce Solutions (formerly One-Stop) Centers

• Rapid re-employment opportunities

• Applying for unemployment insurance benefits

• What happens to retirement and health benefits during this transition

 

The Rapid Response team will coordinate all the details, and all we need from you is a space to present and for you to let your employees know when and where.

​

Our team consists of:

• Business Services team Rapid Response coordinator

• A representative from the State of California’s Employment Development Department (EDD)

• A certified financial planner

 

Providing resources to help with the affected employees’ layoff transition has multiple employer benefits including:

• Resources to potentially avert layoff or closure

• Reduce absenteeism

• Lower unemployment insurance costs

• Increase employee morale

• Reduce the likelihood of work disruptions

• Improve public relations

• Lessen potential liability from wrongful termination suit
