RecruitmentPlus are pleased to announce our Proactive Outplacement Service offering a customised outplacement service to employers going through the difficult transitions of company restructure and down-sizing that will work within your budget.
Our goal is to provide on-going support to your employees at each stage of their redundancy.
The transient nature of jobs and skills makes restructuring a way of life and now more than ever employers must ensure a positive outcome for departing employees, their brand reputation and for company morale.
Help your employees take back control of their future by giving them the tools, support, skills, and knowledge to take the next step.
The decision to downsize or make redundancies is never an easy process. Many businesses have been left with no other choice but to make difficult decisions to reduce company costs and stay afloat during a pandemic. It’s safe to say that most businesses have felt the effects of 2020. As employers, we must support staff during challenging times. Offering Outplacement services will help them to get through tough transitions with dignity and confidence. Let’s take a look at what Outplacement involves and how it can actually have a positive impact on all employees and your business as a whole.
What is Outplacement?
Outplacement services (or career transition services) focus on the employee. It’s a service that provides them with the necessary support and coaching during a challenging time in their career. Redundancy can be a stressful and upsetting situation for any employee to find themselves in. With Outplacement services, they receive assistance at each and every stage with the primary goal focusing on finding the employee another position. Many employers are now starting to put more emphasis on outplacement services as part of their redundancy package. Allow your staff to take back control of the situation and their future by equipping them with the knowledge, resources and confidence to return to the job market.
What is Offered in Outplacement Services?
Career coaching will provide employees with the support they need to cope with redundancy. The individual may be experiencing a wide range of emotions. Having someone experienced to talk with will be the first step for the employee in taking back control. Another area of focus is self-analysis, using career planning tools. They will be challenged to take an introspective look at themselves, what they want and where they want to go.
