Named ops contact
One person (or small pod) with a defined response SLA for restructuring HR tickets—exits, claims, file questions.
AI Restructuring Retainer
A monthly desk for the people fallout of AI.
AI Bloom builds the systems that change how work gets done. ai2HR runs the employer-side mess when those systems mean fewer roles, different roles, or a longer glide path of exits.
Why a retainer
One-time packs fail when the org chart moves for months.
A single Friday RIF can use a Termination Pack. A six-month automation rollout needs a standing owner for exits, claims, and the paperwork that piles up between waves.
Staged cuts create staged claims. Each wave regenerates DES notices. Without a queue, every notice is a new emergency for the same COO.
Role redesign blurs “layoff” vs “performance.” Documentation quality decides claim outcomes. Ad-hoc notes from busy managers will not hold up.
AI project owners are not HR ops. Delivery teams should ship workflows—not assemble separation checklists at 11 p.m.
What’s included
The ugly-HR desk, month to month.
Staged RIF support
Termination Pack playbook applied per wave: checklists, cutoff maps, claim-ready files, handoffs to managers.
Claim queue
Volume band defined in the SOW. Intake, deadlines, drafts, filings, and a living log leadership can open anytime.
Light policy hygiene
Updates tied to restructuring (remote work, role changes, documentation standards)—not a full handbook rewrite unless scoped.
AI Bloom coordination
When AI Bloom is on the delivery side, we align exit timing with workflow go-lives so people ops and tech ops are not surprised by each other.
Monthly status
Written rollup: open claims, upcoming separations, file risks, and decisions that need owner or counsel attention.
Scenarios
When the retainer is the right tool.
Scenario
Customer support headcount drops 30% over two quarters
AI Bloom ships a triage bot. Leadership wants natural attrition plus two managed waves. Retainer covers packs, claims, and manager coaching notes between waves.
Scenario
Back-office finance roles consolidate after AP automation
Fractional CFO owns the P&L hit but not the DES portals. Retainer keeps claim defense off the CFO’s calendar while the org settles.
Example pricing: AI Restructuring Retainer from $2,500 / month for Charlotte SMBs (~10–200 people). Final fee depends on headcount in motion, claim volume band, jurisdictions, and whether AI Bloom is co-engaged. All figures are starting / example prices subject to scoping.
Restructuring with AI and no HR bench?
Book a scoping call. We will map waves, claim volume, and whether a retainer or a pack-plus-claims mix is enough.
