Outplacement

Outplacement services provide support to employees and managers during career transitions and terminations. Outplacement is often undertaken when specific roles are no longer needed due to downsizing, changes to the organisational structure, or when person-job fit is not met. It is crucial that the process be managed sensitively by ensuring the employee feels valued while transitioning out of the organisation. Our Corporate Psychologists understand the complexities of organisational change, and design and deliver outplacement services specific to your unique needs and requirements.

Our 3-tiered outplacement program can provide assistance to managers, the individual transitioning out of the organisation and to those employees remaining. This can include assistance on how to communicate the process to staff and how to effectively manage change in the organisation. We are also able to deliver tailored workshops to the employees remaining in the organisation on coping with change and uncertainty. We can deliver tailored workshops to assist employees throughout all stages of the process, and we are also able to provide one-on-one counselling to employees as required.

For the individual transitioning out of the organisation, it is vital that they feel valued and respected throughout the process. Our service provides the individual with the support they need while transitioning into a new role and includes:

  • Career coaching
  • Career assessment tools
  • Interview guidance and feedback
  • Career resources
  • Assistance with online job boards
  • Assistance with creating a Curriculum Vitae and LinkedIn profile
  • Counselling (available to partners and family also)
