Outplacement by design

Creating a strategic plan to manage change is an important step that can ensure that decisions related to human resources further the company goals rather than hinder a business from being successful today and in the future.

When the need arises, offering outplacement assistance to employees caught in the crossfire of change is good for business and is often far more affordable than expected.

Providing career services to employees in transition helps protect the morale and job satisfaction of the remaining staff. By showing that you are a compassionate and committed employer, you can lessen the stress associated with change and ensure that productivity does not suffer in the process.

When you handle difficult situations with as much generosity as possible, your company image remains positive and you build goodwill in the community. Among other things, this helps an organization attract top talent. While every situation is different, you may be able to lower costs associated with unemployment.

Finally, in our stable job market, you will ensure that you have continual access to the widest candidate pool possible in the event that your needs for talent or expertise change again in the future. Former employees can become vendors, competitors, business partners, contract workers or they may even be re-hired by your organization.

Outplacement can be offered to a single employee or to a group of employees. Just because you offer these services in one particular instance does not mean that you must offer outplacement assistance every time a change occurs.

Job search or resume assistance alone does not help those who need counseling support in selecting and transitioning into a new field or overcoming barriers to success. The company you choose to help you with this process should be respected in the community and well connected to business leaders across all industries. The services should be highly flexible to fit the company budget but also to meet the needs of employees at all levels of their career.
