Restructures and organisational change are inevitable within business but with individuals now placing more emphasis on the ethics, behaviour and culture of organisations it is important during periods of change for your company to show that it is living and breathing its values.
Exiting employees from your organisation is never an easy process to go through but the best leaving gift you can offer to your people that are moving on is some specialist support for them to be able to transition successfully.
Outplacement services are often used during times of change to help minimise disruption and stress alongside keeping up levels of productivity, engagement and retention.
How can working with an outplacement provider benefit your organisation:
Protects your employer brand and reputation as an organisation that cares for its people
Provides extra resource for your HR teams so they can focus on the process and existing employees
Helps to reduce stress levels within the organisation both for HR and managers and also for those that will be leaving the organisation
Maintains productivity for those leaving as they know they are going to get the help they need to transition as well as helping to lessen the guilt for those ‘survivors'
