1. The mistakes employers have made, and can make, when they impose furloughs.
2. The various phases of a successful reduction-in-force.
3. The do's and don'ts of using the various tools of risk management in a RIF (e.g., effective separation agreements, voluntary retirement programs, lawful selection criteria).
