Outplacement
Tailored Outplacement Programme
Why should you spend money assisting people who are leaving your company? Because it’s about more than your departing employees. It’s also about your company’s brand and reputation, and the people who remain. A redundancy round often deflates morale for everyone and an Outplacement programme can help.
For most people, their job consumes more time than family, or even sleep. A person’s job becomes an expression and extension of self, as well as the fulcrum around which their entire lifestyle turns. And so, when an organisation has to makes employees redundant, there is an onus and duty of care to do as much as possible to help them leave in a positive way. And how better than to help them secure a new and appropriate job, in a suitable time frame? This is where a professional Outplacement programme can help both the individual and your organisation.
