For employers

Sign the pledge.

Signing is a public commitment to five promises. We don't expect a layoff to go perfectly. The pledge in detail explains what keeping each promise looks like in practice.

The five promises

Everything in writing, on the day
A soft landing
Your things and your records
Respect for your time
