Redundancy support and outplacement for companies
Having to make an individual or group of people redundant can happen to any organisation, even the best managed ones.I've spent my whole career advising managers, directors and corporate executives how to make people redundant and reduce their costs. I have also spent that time supporting individuals as they transition out of the workplace and into an uncertain future.
I know that for many HR professionals, especially those in smaller companies who are responsible for a range of activities, redundancy is a daunting prospect to manage requiring large amounts of time with significant costs if you get it wrong.
Outplacement is a big business, but one that can be very impersonal and its effectiveness can be highly uncertain. Worst of all, it only starts after the decision has been communicated to employees.
I have over 20 years of insider knowledge that can help you at all stages of the process - from thinking the unthinkable to supporting the leavers (and those that remain).
I offer an individualised service to companies that bridges the internal processes and external offerings of others. This service is customised to suit your specific needs and can include;
- exploring the alternatives to redundancy - severance should not be your first choice!
- helping to define your selection criteria
- communications with employees, either directly or through employee representatives
- minimising your costs
- managing the severance process
- providing cost effective support and advice to impacted employees including career coaching; C.V. and interview coaching and support; accessing head-hunters and recruitment firms
- providing support to the often forgotten critical group of employees - those that are left behind
If you company is thinking about making redundancies or has just made some, contact me for a discreet, no obligation chat.
