Supporting leavers with flexible outplacement services
Leaving an organisation through redundancy can be a daunting experience. These are turbulent times and an outplacement programme can give your employees a great opportunity to prepare themselves for their next job or career. This type of programme is usually offered as part of a separation or redundancy agreement and can help to ‘soften the blow’ whilst strengthening employer brand. We focus support on helping people leave as ambassadors for the organisation.
Employees taking part will ideally attend six one-to-one sessions tailored to their specific needs. Typically, the first session will focus on exploring reactions to the news, general readiness to job search and explore which aspects of outplacement will be most beneficial.
Thereafter, sessions might cover:
- CV creation and/or improvement
- enhancing presence on social media and LinkedIn profile
- interviewing preparation & answering key questions
- techniques for taking part with assessments
- using networks effectively
- using head-hunters and agencies
- making direct applications
Comments from clients who have received outplacement coaching from People Business
“Working with Chrissie provided me with a little oasis of support and encouragement during a very difficult time. I loved how she would flex what we did in each session based on developments, progress made and the greatest need at the time. We covered a whole range of things, and she helped me prepare for a really important interview and another important negotiation to conclude on a new position.“
“People Business provided a great outplacement programme for our employees as the programme was both personal and flexible. The employee feedback was very positive, and it’s a pleasure to hear that the support from People Business help provide the skills needed to secure alternative employment or different ventures.”
“Working with Chrissie allowed me to reflect on my career to date and to consider carefully my next steps. I found her to be friendly, considered and adaptable with her approach. She helped me to refine my CV, to be mindful to keep my interview answers concise and on point and also provided me with some valuable insight to different industries and their respective approach to recruitment.
Throughout the process, I felt that I was able to steer the conversation to get the most out of my time with Chrissie and am very grateful to her for taking the time and effort to provide me with additional useful information following our meetings. Overall, I found the sessions very worthwhile and would have no hesitation in recommending Chrissie Saunders and the People Business Outplacement Programme.”
