Restructuring, Downsizing and Outplacement Assistance

Developing Strategic Alternatives to RIF

OPM consults with agency human resources staff to develop a placement plan for employees in lieu of Reduction In Force (RIF). Various options available include use of early retirement authority, buyout authority, establishing an internal priority placement program, relocation bonuses and other potential alternatives to RIF. OPM consultants will prepare a business cost analysis for an agency facing downsizing or restructuring and choosing to consider alternatives to RIF. This cost analysis will include the financial impact associated with using various reduction incentives and options.
