Outplacement Support for Employers

February 18, 2012

Whether you are an individual looking for outplacement support or an organisation seeking outplacement for employees as part of change and restructuring you can benefit from a tailor made approach. Outplacement advice and services will get people back into work faster, often in an improved position or package, because an objective and experienced consultancy will improve on individual’s own efforts – trust me, the evidence is there.

Individuals look for different types of outplacement support and The Career Management Organisation tailors its services to these different needs. Tailoring outplacement coaching covering job-searching, helping with CV development, interview skills, networking, self-marketing etc. to meet different time-lines and budgets is the most cost-effective answer.

For organisations this approach to your outplacement services will help your business, your ex-employees and your ‘surviving’ employees.

How? Well, read on –

Ex-Employees Are Your Ambassadors – They talk to people, including current employees, about their thoughts or your company. If their leaving package includes good, relevant outplacement this shows you care and respect them. You want them to be positive about their experiences with you (after all, you may want them back at some time in the future).
Current Employees Worry – “Will I be next” is a real de-motivator! It reduces their efficiency – but if they know they will be supported with outplacement then they can focus on managing change and re-growing the business.

The Business Community Assesses Your Company – “People are our most important asset” yet organisations often do not practice this (or are perceived not to). By showing concern for employees leaving by providing outplacement you are building your business reputation.

You Still Need to Attract the Right People – If you want to be an employer of choice you need to show you are professional with employees when times are good and bad. Most organisations are recruiting for specific skills even when losing people – if a potential employee sees you care they are more likely to take the plunge and join you. Another reason outplacement works!
