What is outplacement? 

 

Outplacement is a service offered to employees who have lost, or may be losing their job, to help them quickly find a new path. Our services include CV writing, professional social media support, networking, career coaching,  interview preparation and targeted job leads. The services are paid for by employers, but provided by Hire Pals who work directly with your employees.

What are the benefits of outplacement? 

​

There a number of benefits experienced by organisations that provide outplacement or career transition support to their employees: 

​

• Support for employees directly impacted by redundancy helps support a smoother transition for the employee and the business. Taking some of the stress away from the process. 

​

• Redundancies are a stressful time for all involved. Providing professional outplacement support is a duty of care that can help to maintain harmony, especially on platforms such as Glassdoor and Indeed. 

​

• Providing employees with outplacement support helps towards a positive relationship and decreases the risk of additional costly settlements. 

​

• Outplacement can help to improve your relationship with other employees who are not directly impacted by the restructure and will be staying with the organisation in the long term as they see their colleagues being supported and treated respectfully. 

​

• Successful outplacement can positively impact employer branding activities as this shows potential new employees, clients, customers and other stakeholders that the organisation values its people.
