Outplacement
What is Outplacement?
2020 has been a year unlike any other in our memory. Many firms are reviewing their business models and requirements, meaning their ‘organisational structure’ is also high on the agenda.
‘Outplacement’ is a tailored service to support individuals, exiting a business as a result of, redundancy or re-deployment through restructure. Tessa and Jenni have worked on projects together for 18 years and have over 40 years joint recruitment experience. We work with your employees to support the transition of internal transfer, or from ‘consultation’ and preparing to leave their position, to securing a new role as quickly as possible, with confidence and a new understanding of their skills.
Support
Placing Employees at risk of redundancy is often a stressful and unpracticed part of a Manager’s job. But by utilising our tailored services, we can reduce your workload and anxiety from the process. Showing existing teams and candidates of the future that you are investing in your people and practicing a genuine duty of care, reinforcing cultural branding and values during a very harrowing situation. We provide total flexibility around your requirements, relevant to your people and organisational budget.
Having worked in-house within major corporate industries, combined, Tessa and Jenni have over 40 years of expertise to support any onboarding or outplacement projects you have.
By working with you as a third party, we can provide an unbiased support to HR teams during transitional or busy periods. We have been involved in a variety of projects, for well-known organisations relocating and requiring large numbers of new employees, at short notice, across a variety of sectors. We can help plan and foresee recruitment requirements in advance eg. take-overs, new contracts being awarded, maternity/holiday cover etc. so that you are never without the essential staff you need.
