Outplacement
The Customers who face the need to downsize their workforce are offered professional support in minimizing adverse effects of mass layoff. By conducting the layoffs properly, the company may retain its good image in the business environment (customers, suppliers and business partners) and in the eyes of potential employees.
Another benefit of outplacement is the fact that employees remaining at the company perceive changes positively, which prevents the organization from a fall in motivation and productivity. Moreover, the programme aimed to reduce negative effects of workforce reduction has two more advantages; it minimises the risk of quitting the company by key employees and makes negotiations with trade unions operating at the company easier. If conducted properly, outplacement project may make the employees perceive layoffs as necessary for proper functioning of the entire organization.
Depending on who is going to be included in the programme, we recommend individual outplacement in the case of managerial, executive and specialist positions or group outplacement in the case of mass layoff resulting from mergers or organization’s restructuring.
Advisory Group TEST Human Resources’ Consultants will conduct individual consultations (assessment of potential, work preferences, possibility of retraining), training for laid-off employees (labour market, remuneration market, preparation of documents required during a recruitment process, presentation skills needed during job interviews) and identify possible employers.
