OUTPLACEMENT
End to end people strategy : Supporting leavers with outplacement services
Redundancy situations happen and as HR consultants, we see more than our fair share. However, our outplacement services help businesses to do it the right way.
With technological advancements enabling more streamlined processes, and a tough economy, we anticipate more transformational change and recognise that people need help finding the next step on their career ladder. Together, we should prioritise leavers in the same way as new starters when it comes to developing your people strategy.
What outplacement services look like
Fancy terms aside, we’re talking about engaging an HR consultant to work in house as part of your redundancy exercise to manage:
Interview Prep Sessions
For people who haven’t had an interview for a while or even applied for a different role in a long time, the whole process can be daunting and scary. We have designed a session to support increased awareness and understanding about recruitment practices today.
CV Writing Sessions
A huge part of outplacement services; helping people create and finesse CVs, and covering off how and where to apply, the art of writing cover letters and how to approach recruitment agencies.
Individual Support
Especially relevant at a senior level, we provide 121 support ranging from all manner of topics including Personal Brand, the current job market and direct introductions.
Transitional Support
Often the transition from one company to another can take its toll, especially as you go through a formal and often, quite scary, redundancy We offer coaching sessions that help people to realign expectations and navigate that change.
When budgets are tight and your people strategy leaves no room for outplacement services
We get it. You have far bigger fish to fry. Well, this isn’t an expensive activity and retains goodwill from past employees. One day of external support to run Interview Prep Sessions may be all it takes.
Ever heard of GlassDoor ? A leaver that feels supported and nurtured is far more likely to leave a positive review and speak highly of your business.
So, if your people strategy includes being an attractive employer to the best talent out there, it’s worth the outlay. Trust our opinion. As HR consultants, we know a little about these things.
