And for those of you still conducting reductions in force (RIFs), get ideas (and a checklist) for minimizing exposure to claims arising from RIFs. You'll takeaway ideas for:

* Creative staff retention
* Alternatives to RIFs and terminations
* Benefits programs in a distressed economy
* Leveraging labor opportunities in a difficult job market
