Rapid Response Outplacement and Layoff Transition Services

Rapid Response Services are available to help minimize the cost and negative impact that a separation can have on your business. Our customizable services include informational workshops and events that will network dislocated employees to similar employers. We can answer important questions about layoffs, reduced hours, closures, and downsizing that can make the transition easier for you and less stressful for your employees.

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax credit that encourages employers to hire targeted groups of job seekers. WOTC can reduce employer federal tax liability by as much as $2,400 to $9,600 per new hire.

Federal Bonding

A fidelity bond is provided to the employer free of charge and serves as an incentive to the company to hire a job applicant who is an ex-offender or has an at risk background in obtaining employment. It is a business insurance policy that protects the employer against financial loss due to theft, forgery, larceny or embezzlement caused by employee dishonesty.

Business Resources

Many businesses relocate or start a business within Arapahoe and Douglas counties due to its close proximity to Denver and surrounding communities, the supply of highly skilled labor force and stable economic conditions.
