Layoffs Don't Have to Burn Bridges. The way you lay off employees says everything about your values. In the rush to automate and “optimize,” companies sometimes forget the human cost. But the truth is—how you part ways matters. One bad experience can ripple into your Glassdoor rating, your team morale, your ability to hire again. SUB Plans help you turn a difficult moment into one of dignity. They say: “You gave us your best. Now let us help you move forward.” Layoffs don’t have to break trust. SUB Plans can help you preserve it. #HRLeadership #SUBPlans #ResponsibleRestructuring #Automation #PeopleFirst

Severance says “see you later.” SUB Plans say “we’re still with you.” When companies downsize, severance is the go-to. But that’s a lump sum, gone in a flash. SUB Plans take a different approach. They provide weekly income, coordinated with unemployment insurance, to stretch support over time—just when people need stability the most. For the employee, it eases the pressure. For the employer, it softens the impact and protects the culture you worked hard to build. If you’re navigating layoffs, there’s a more human way to do it. Let’s talk SUB. #HRStrategy #SUBPlans #LayoffsWithCompassion #EmployerBranding #FutureOfWork

AI Is Changing Work. Let’s Not Leave People Behind. AI is transforming jobs—but we can’t forget the people impacted. Automation and AI are accelerating. Some roles will evolve. Others will disappear. It’s easy to talk about innovation. It’s harder to talk about layoffs. But when jobs shift, people need more than a pat on the back and a one-time check. They need time, space, and support to find what’s next. A Supplemental Unemployment Benefit (SUB) Plan gives them that—by providing steady, weekly income alongside unemployment benefits. It’s more than a financial cushion. It’s a message: “We see you. We’ve got your back.” If your company is restructuring, let’s build a better offboarding experience—together. #FutureOfWork #SUBPlans #HRLeadership #Layoffs #CompassionateOffboarding

Did you know that severance isn’t your only option when restructuring? A Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) Plan allows companies to pay furloughed or laid-off employees at a fraction of the cost of traditional severance. By incorporating state unemployment benefits and not incurring FICA taxes, a SUB Plan helps businesses stretch their resources further—providing meaningful financial support to employees while managing costs more effectively. With economic uncertainty and potential tariff-related supply chain shifts on the horizon, organizations should explore cost-effective workforce solutions before they are needed. The good news? A SUB Plan only incurs fees when it’s used. It’s not about reacting—it’s about being prepared. #HRLeaders #SUBPlans #EmployeeSupport #CostSavings #Tariff #SupplyChain #Autosupplychain #Manufacturing #Furlough #WorkforcePlanning #FurloughPlanning #FurloughStrategy #StrategicPlanning #ContingencyPlanning #SupplyChain #AutoSupply #AutoSupplyChain #AutoManufacturing

As businesses navigate an evolving economic landscape, preparing for potential workforce adjustments is critical. While tariffs and market shifts may not have immediate effects, uncertainty alone can disrupt long-term planning—especially for industries that rely on international supply chains. One way to future-proof your workforce strategy is by implementing a Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) Plan. Unlike traditional severance, SUB allows companies to provide continued financial support to employees while significantly reducing employer costs by leveraging state unemployment benefits. After implementation, companies don’t need to activate a SUB Plan right away, but having it in place ensures readiness without ongoing fees. Thinking ahead could mean the difference between a difficult restructuring and a smooth transition. #HRStrategy #SUBPlans #BusinessContinuity #WorkforceSolutions #StrategicPlanning #EconomicReslience #Tariff #Tariffplanning #CostSavings #ContingencyPlanning #WorkforcePlanning #SUBPay

Economic shifts, including changes in trade policy, can create uncertainty for businesses. While the full impact of tariffs remains to be seen, companies should proactively consider strategies that provide flexibility in workforce planning. A Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) Plan serves as a safety net—allowing companies to offer financial support to furloughed or separated employees at a fraction of the cost of severance. Because SUB integrates with state unemployment benefits and is not subject to FICA taxes, it enables companies to stretch their resources further while supporting their workforce. The best part? A SUB Plan doesn't have to be used once implemented—there’s no cost unless it’s active. But having one in place ensures businesses can adapt quickly should restructuring become necessary. #FutureProofing #SUBPlans #WorkforcePlanning #EconomicResilience #Tariff #Restructuring #Layoffs #ContingencyPlanning #Severance #SupplementalUnemploymentBenefits #Strategy

Severance packages are outdated. While many companies continue to rely on these traditional methods to manage layoffs, they often fall short in providing long-term benefits for both the employer and the employee. Enter Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB), a modern solution that’s changing the game. SUB is a benefit designed to supplement state unemployment benefits, providing laid-off employees with a weekly payment that’s tied to the amount of unemployment they receive. Unlike traditional severance, SUB payments are structured to extend until the employee finds new work, creating a smoother and more financially secure transition. Here are five reasons why SUB is the game-changing solution to your business needs.
