Prior to issuing the layoff, the following measures will be taken: (i) The Company recognizes its enhanced obligation to employees who have served for extended periods.

General Approach. With the exception of “protects”, as set out above, lay-offs shall be in order of seniority within the disciplines. The Company recognizes its enhanced obligation to employees who have served for extended periods. Pursuant to this enhanced obligation, employees with at least twenty (20) years of service with the Company will be entitled to up to six (6) months training (formal and/or informal) to allow them to displace more junior employees whom they would not otherwise be qualified to displace. The training will be provided in the discipline determined by the Company, in consultation with the employee. If an employee chooses not to be trained, they will be subject to lay- off. The Joint Lay-off Committee will review all such cases. The Parties recognize that employees are deemed proficient in one discipline in accordance with the Discipline Inventory System. For clarity, it is understood that an employee selected for layoff from the Company shall not have the right to displace another employee outside of their recognized discipline.

General Approach. We approach each project as an opportunity to collaborate with client leadership and help the State achieve its highest performance. No two coaching services are identical, although there are often commonalities with basic elements of training and strategy development. We ensure stakeholder voices are heard as we plan our coaching services and design a project approach that is responsive to the needs of the client. understanding of government business operations and the political realities of each client’s situation. Each project is planned in consultation with client personnel and specific milestones and deliverables are established. We work through the agreed-upon milestones, providing regular updates to the client. When obstacles are encountered, we work around them where possible or consult promptly with the client to find the best path forward. A key element of coaching services is the interview process. We facilitate one-on-one interviews or group brainstorming sessions, as appropriate, and help hone broad ideas into concrete strategies. In other situations, we facilitate leadership trainings as one element of a client’s broader strategic planning process. Using this approach, State clients are better able to take ownership of the final goals, development objectives, and/or strategic planning resulting from the project. We find this increases the buy-in of client personnel and stakeholders, bringing value to the project even after our role in it ends.

General Approach. The Developer will: (a) ensure that AT is involved in the preparation of the Design to the extent required by AT; and (b) provide copies of each draft and final Design to AT as it is developed by or on behalf of the Developer and otherwise in accordance with clause 3.3(a).

General Approach. The nature of the strategy being developed drives our approach. We understand the unique nature of each project and recognize that our ability to develop solutions and strategies from our broad experience is part of what qualifies us to serve the State under this proposed contract. By approaching each project as an opportunity to collaborate with the State, we ensure stakeholder voices are heard and use the experience of State personnel to build our specific approach. Our CPAs and other consultants each have their own industry specializations and expertise, and our exceptional results begin by assembling the best team to meet your specific needs. By combining our skilled project managers and visionaries with our subject matter experts, we ensure technical expertise is embedded at every step of the project. While we can, and do, subcontract with third parties when specific technical expertise outside of our employee base is needed, we are much more than a firm of project managers. We facilitate meetings, interview personnel, and brainstorm internally about areas for potential process and strategic improvement. The project is planned in consultation with client personnel and specific milestones and deliverables are established. We assign our personnel and work through the agreed-upon milestones, providing regular updates to the client based on the desires of the contracting party. When obstacles are encountered, we work around them where possible or consult promptly with the client to find the best path forward. We gain a detailed understanding of the regulatory and/or statutory environment within which the client operates and conduct our own research into the potential obstacles facing the strategy being developed. Having ▇▇▇▇▇ discussions about opportunities to improve current management strategies helps us design procedures and recommendations to address known “issues” and deliver a better product. Our emphasis on quality benefits our State clients greatly. Written reports by THF are subjected to an internal independent quality control review. Having an experienced, senior professional who is otherwise unaffiliated with the project review the report helps ensure our approach was sound, our findings and recommended strategies are clear, and all reporting requirements have been met. Client review of our “draft” findings and recommendations is another key element of our typical approach. Under this approach, State clients are better able to take ownership of...

General Approach. Each litigation, claim, or other formal case is unique. So is each expert witness engagement. However, certain general steps are common among most of these projects. First and foremost, we work with the procuring entity (e.g., a state agency, department, or division) to determine the nature of the allegations, the work performed by others, the project timeline, and the potential difficulties anticipated during the engagement. Where possible, we work directly with counsel to preserve privilege to the extent possible and provide for ▇▇▇▇▇ discussions between our experts and those charged with pursuing the State’s legal strategy. Our expert witness services are led by some of our most senior personnel – for example, the leader of our forensic accounting services group is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), is Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF), is Accredited in Business Valuations (ABV), and is a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). We have an attorney who is a member of the Florida Bar on our team and assign personnel to each project based on the facts and circumstances of the allegations. Where our firm has relevant experience related to the underlying facts at issue in the dispute, for example when the dispute relates to a grant program with which we have experience, we assign personnel to the project who have that specific experience related to the underlying facts. By integrating our subject matter experts with our experts in forensic accounting, we ensure our expert witness testimony is as thorough and easy-to-understand as possible. We maintain detailed working papers, documenting chain of custody, each specific procedure performed, and every conclusion reached. Once our analysis of the underlying issues is complete, we compile our findings and prepare for either a written report or oral testimony, or both. Working in close consultation with the procuring entity and its counsel, we provide honest, unbiased, and substantiated conclusions to the trier of fact as we advocate for our opinions and attempt to provide clarity and guidance in complicated areas. Our analyses are based on reliable methodologies and are intended to meet the standards set forth in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and other related court cases.
