Good goodbyes are important!
Outplacement support for employees in career transition.

Employee Outplacement Programmes

Whether you are looking for outplacement support for one individual or for many employees facing redundancy, our career transition services will help your staff move on more positively and successfully secure a new role.

If you are an HR manager developing the outplacement strategy for your organisation, then we can advise on different outplacement options and what will work best for you.  We’ll work closely with you throughout the project, offering a sounding board and advice which supports both you, the employees and the organisation at what can be a challenging time.

Employment Outplacement FAQs

What is your success rate?

Our clients may have very different objectives and circumstances but in general they have a common aim, which is to move into a role that is right for them.  We therefore evaluate our success rate not just on the outcome itself, but on the quality and desirability of the outcome.

Our client surveys show that 93% of our clients achieve their objectives of which:

  • 82% move into a new role they really want
  • 11% move into self-employment

We also have a 98% client satisfaction rating where clients would highly recommend us to others seeking career support.

What if I have limited budget?

Please note that even if you do not have sufficient budget to provide outplacement support, there are things that you can do, at no cost to your organisation, which can substantially help the individual to find another job.

Outplacement is a non-taxable benefit when provided as part of a redundancy settlement. If, with the agreement of the individual, you process the outplacement invoice and deduct the net amount payable from their redundancy settlement, there will be a considerable saving (both tax and VAT) compared with if the individual paid for it directly. Where budget is limited or non-existent, this can be an enormously helpful option.

Please contact us for more information on this.

You may also want to explore icareercoach™, which is our new powerful, online career management, job search and career development resource. This is our low cost outplacement option for organisations who have limited budget but still want to support their staff through redundancy with job search support.
