WHY INVEST IN OUTPLACEMENT/CAREER TRANSITION SERVICES? 

  • Protect your employer brand. Taking care of separating employees makes a meaningful statement to separating and retained employees. 

  • Enable your separated employees to move on faster. Those who use outplacement services find work faster than those who do not. The personalized resources show compassion through the process and allow employees to strategically focus on their next step instead of on the layoff. 

  • Care for your retained employees. Those who remain often face survivor guilt. Invest in strategic planning, team rebuilding, and communication to help proactively address their questions and concerns, and get everyone moving forward, working toward a common goal.
