Outplacement
Outplacement services involve helping organisations to effectively manage employee departures due to restructures, downsizing, and mergers. Employees are provided with practical support and guidance to smoothly transition them from the organisation, and move to the next stage in their career.
Our outplacement service options include:
- Individual counselling to help the employee come to terms with the emotional trauma of retrenchment, and to stay motivated and positive during the job search process;
- Career assessments to measure interests, values, personality, motivation and skills to help increase self-understanding and make informed career choices;
- Resume, cover letter and job application preparation;
- Interview skills training;
- Job search and networking strategies; and
- Strategic career planning.
Benefits to the organisation in providing outplacement services:
- Demonstrates to employees that the organisation recognises and appreciates the contributions of redundant employees;
- Minimises the likelihood of disgruntled former employees from speaking badly about the organisation and thereby maintaining a professional public image and reputation;
- Reduces the risk of legal action by ensuring an employee termination is handled fairly and respectfully;
- Provides an effective method of separating employees from the organisation;
- Reduces the distress and anxiety caused by redundancy; and
- Maintains the morale, motivation and productivity of existing employees.
