Outplacement support services for redundancy are a great way of offering support for employees who are facing a career transition. In these extraordinary times, support for employees losing their jobs is seen as good organisational practice.
As an employer, the benefits of offering outplacement is that it shows your commitment to employees’ wellbeing, maintains your company’s integrity, demonstrates adherence to best practice and fulfils legal obligations. For employees who are being made redundant, they will have the confidence and peace of mind knowing that they are being managed by specialists and being provided the practical support and guidance needed to take the next steps in their career. Whilst supporting employees who are being let go, outplacement services also ensures that any remaining employees understand that they too will be supported and that their welfare is being considered as they move into new teams or new ways of working.
During the Covid19 pandemic, we have been working hard supporting clients.
