Outplacement Services

Outplacement support involves career coaching, preparation and advice to help staff find and secure their next role.

When downsizing is necessary, it’s important for organisations to consider their social responsibility towards helping staff move on. Providing outplacement services enables employers enhance their employer brand by demonstrating an engaged and caring approach to helping staff with their career transition.

What is outplacement support?

Our outplacement services help employees who have lost, or will be losing, their job. The assistance helps them to quickly find a new path. This may include another role in the same or a different industry, retraining, retiring or starting a business. Services include career coaching, CV writing, interview preparation, skill development, networking, referrals to hiring managers and targeted job leads.
