Outplacement Services
Effective outplacement services should form an integral part of any redundancy programme. The extent to which these are provided by internal or external resources is a question, which needs to be asked. The answer to this depends on the capacity and capability of the internal resources. In our work we often find that a combination of both approaches works best. Internal involvement demonstrates both ownership and commitment. Typically our services include:
- advice on involving key managers in the process
- advice on how to set up a 'drop in ' centre where a significant number of people are affected.
- job search workshops to include CV presentation, job search techniques, interview and presentation techniques and coping with psychometric tests. This is also available on a one-to-one basis where required.
- one to one counselling to provide support, advice and guidance.
- identifying training needs and developing personal development plans where there is a long lead in period.
Putting together the appropriate package needs careful attention to detail, effort and commitment. This is where our services can be most useful.
