Rapid Response

   

Massachusetts Rapid Response provides statewide, early intervention, no-cost re-employment services for companies and their employees affected by layoffs and closings.

Mandated and funded in part by the Workforce Investment Act, their quality, on-site outplacement services provide an effective transition to new employment for all your affected employees.

   

In working with Rapid Response you can expect:

• A quick response to your transition planning needs;
• Confidentiality concerning your business needs;
• Information about alternatives that may reduce or avoid the layoff, or possible future layoffs;
• Pre-layoff services designed to help workers shorten their transition time;
• Information on One-Stop Career Centers and Unemployment Insurance;
• Assistance in maintaining worker morale and productivity during the transition, and
• Assistance in preparing affected workers to find new employment.

While you may not be able to change the business conditions that make layoffs necessary, calling the Massachusetts Rapid Response in the early stages can reduce the cost and pain of those layoffs for your employees.
