Managing redundancies can be a difficult time, both for the organisation and the employees affected. 

Employees being made redundant (or having employment terminated for any other reasons) often feel a range of emotions – shock, fear, upset, and loss of identity, stability, concerns about finances etc.

They are then faced with the task of finding a new role.  For many, they may not have applied for a  job for some time, or may not understand the current market.  Some people will not have a CV or may never have attended an interview.

What is outplacement support?

Outplacement support offers a range of support for individuals, either on a one-to-one or group basis, and can cover things like

• CV writing
• Job search support
• Interview skills training
• LinkedIn profile content creation
• Documentation production (cover letters, personal statements, application forms)
• Guides relating to Job Search support and Interview Skills

Benefits of offering outplacement support

• Support for staff to secure new employment (less risk of claims and dissatisfied employees)
• Reputational benefits – the benefit of being seen to be a fair employer, supporting staff (especially for the staff who are left behind)
• Increased knowledge of the job market and current trends in documentation etc
