Outplacement Assistance

Downsizing can have a traumatic effect on workers, employers and the community. Polk Works REACT
(Re-employment Emergency Assistance Coordination Team) can help you manage a closure, lay-off, or reduction in workforce while helping your employees adjust to the change and re-enter the job market. 

 

Our REACT Team can help! 

  • We can counsel employees as a group to provide them critical information on filing for unemployment and using the services of our centers to help find their next job
  • Help to obtain training funds for employees who need a skills upgrade
  • Facilitate meetings and workshops to provide information on career services available to employees 
  • Conduct on-site unemployment insurance information sessions
  • Assist with special job fairs.

Are You Subject to File WARN? Some employers are required by the “Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification Act” to file a “WARN” notice 60 days in advance of a plant closing or layoff.
