The key features of the bridge program are to prevent another disaster from occurring, create goodwill amongst employees facing layoffs, and create pathways to help smooth employees' career transitions. The benefits are maintaining the organization's reputation and image, giving employees freedom to choose their own career paths, and allowing employees to keep their jobs while working on new projects. The challenges are maintaining motivation for those being laid off and that employees may immediately start looking for new jobs upon receiving layoff notices.
