Businesses Espousing the Non WARN Mindset for Optimum Success in Rapid Reemployment

A Non-WARN designation is any business reporting closure or reduction-in-force via any means, not required by federal law to submit a WARN. The Non-WARN mindset provides confidentiality, synergy of action, free space, innovation, and opportunity to take Rapid Response and Rapid Re-employment to a level of optimum efficiency and complete business inclusivity. For Rapid Re-employment to work and have success will require proactive engagement, involvement, and effort from all businesses.  The Non-WARN model and mindset proactively syncs with Rapid Re-employment, which requires public workforce system early
involvement by extending the training reach through impassioned engagement, proactive
business outreach and awareness, confirmed intelligence, front-end business connection, and layoff protraction, to conduct training and certifications with the affected businesses and those with impending needs prior to a dislocation. The primary goal of Rapid Re-employment is “to prevent unemployment.”  The
presentation will discuss the drawbacks of the current WARN submission mindset and the benefits of the Non-WARN mindset for optimal success in Rapid Re-employment by addressing and synching requirements with the speed and needs of
businesses.
