Our philosophy on why your organization should use outplacement
services is based on a fundamental belief that you and your
employee made a committment to each other. When times are tough
and difficult decisions need to be made regarding downsizing,
companies need to do the "right thing".That means providing solid
career transition services to your separated employees. It not
only is the "right thing" to do in solid economic times, but
during times such as these with unemployment being as high as it
is and the average worker taking 5.5 months (As cited by the Wall Street Journal) to land gainful
employment outplacement services are even more crucial to your
former employees.
Without services such as these, your separated
employees would be swimming against the current. Losing a job is
considered to be one of three most diffcult times to ever go
through in ones lifeand outplacement services provide more than a
sounding board for your separated employees. It also gives them
hope, career guidance on best practices, it can motivate them when
required, and it can pull them back on track if need be.
Providing
outplacement services can also benefit your company because it
creates an environment that people want to belong to and can be a
recruiting tool for future employees. Outplacement Services maintain the
morale of those key employees you retained. Finally, it reduces
litigation concerns and costs because you are doing your part to
get them back into the workforce.
