I want to ask for some audience input here. When you think layoff aversion, what do comes to mind? What does layoff aversion mean to you? A lot of people think that layoff aversion simply means preventing a layoff from happening, but in reality, there is so much more to it. There are two sides to layoff aversion. One is actually saving the company. This could be done by minimizing the number of employees that need to be laid off, work-share, company furloughs, employee-buyouts or finding a buyer, linking with economic development, or incumbent worker training programs based on the company. Then there’s the proactive side to layoff aversion, which is that you may not actually be able to save the company, but you can lessen the impact that a layoff event or closure has. This can be by lessening the number of people who file for unemployment insurance, company match, which is linking laid off employees with companies that need trained workers, linking On-the-job Training programs with growing companies, or broader incumbent worker programs. So layoff aversion is really a lot more expansive than simply stopping a layoff from happening.
Avon (Hamilton County/Cincinnati area) while they are still working at Avon have received testing and training to obtain the BIO Ohio Certificate and/or the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council certification so that they are more marketable when they are laid off.
21 states now have workshare programs. This is the ideal time to conduct the skill set analysis of workers in an attempt to map them against growth industries. Also time to contact the TAA for Firms program, MEPs and others. Should at this point also look at incumbent worker training to improve the competitiveness of the workers.
