Outplacement Support

Supporting employees with outplacement services is crucial when organizations need to make redundancies for various reasons. 


Whether due to market downturns, changes in ownership, shifts in services, or cost-cutting measures, the process of staff reduction can be challenging for both the affected employees and the company as a whole. Mishandling this process can lead to detrimental effects on the organization.

Some of the potential consequences include:


  • Damage to the company's public image and reputation through negative PR or disgruntled employees speaking ill of the organization due to perceived mistreatment or inadequate support.
  • Harm to the company's reputation among industry peers, as former employees are unlikely to recommend the organization as an employer of choice if they feel dissatisfied.
  • Decreased productivity among remaining staff members who may experience job security concerns and anxieties.
  • Potential legal repercussions if proper redundancy procedures are not followed.

Providing outplacement support services to your staff is essential for several reasons:


  • Empowering individuals with the necessary tools and assistance to transition back into employment successfully and swiftly.
  • Reducing and managing the stress and uncertainty associated with redundancy, supporting employees through the emotional and practical aspects of the job search process.
  • Assisting employees in gaining a clear understanding of their skills, abilities, career aspirations, and personal goals.
  • Equipping them with lifelong skills in job seeking, networking, interviewing, and negotiation, enhancing their future employability.
  • Recognizing and appreciating the contributions of outgoing staff, which demonstrates care and empathy to the remaining workforce.
  • Presenting your company in a positive light, showcasing your commitment to supporting employees during challenging times.
  • Fostering a positive and productive working environment for remaining staff members, promoting morale and engagement.
  • By offering outplacement support, you prioritize the well-being of your employees and mitigate potential negative outcomes, positioning your organization as compassionate, responsible, and dedicated to the success and happiness of its workforce.
