Valuable support for people you have to make redundant
Costly, disruptive and sometimes emotionally fraught, making redundancies in your business is rarely an easy course of action. It’s even harder when it’s driven by external forces you can do nothing about.
For example during a recession when job prospects are at their lowest, or you are having to let good members of your team go – people that have worked hard and been dedicated to you.
That’s where our online outplacement platform comes in.
Outplacement is a support service to help those leaving your organisation, transition successfully into new roles. It helps them create a positive mindset through the process, accepting the change and setting their sights on the future.
COVID-19 is having a drastic impact on the economy and rates of unemployment. By demonstrably providing extra support to a departing employee or employees so they can get ahead in the job market, you benefit your own business as well as them.
It will help nurture their positive view of you as they exit the business. This counts for something in the job market of today. Both in generating positive sentiment in the age of Glassdoor, and by keeping the opportunity of re-engaging with them, should you wish to, when the economy picks up. It’s also a positive way to manage your remaining employees. Demonstrating this level of support will help them to feel more engaged, reinforcing your employer brand.
