About the platform

The Separation Index is a workforce accountability platform that publishes confirmed, user-submitted reports on how companies handle layoffs, terminations, and workforce separations. The platform tracks separation practices including notice method, severance packages, outplacement support, and communication quality. WARN Act filing data covers layoff notices from state labor agencies, cross-referenced against active job postings.

The Separation Index is a sister platform to The Hiring Index. We operate independently with no employer funding. Companies are graded on separation practices and cannot pay to change their scores.
