Kick-start your employee's career transition the right way
There are times that business’ have to make difficult decisions to retrench people. But how this task is undertaken can still send the message that a business cares about their people, even if their employment with the business ends. Organisations can proactively support employees that are leaving by providing outplacement programs. These programs demonstrate that your organisation cares about its people beyond their employment.
Outplacement programs demonstrate you recognise the contribution employees have made and ensure they are empowered to leverage their talents as they transition to another job.
Peopleconnexion's Outplacement Program connects your exiting employees with career coaches, industry specialists and experts in the world of recruitment. We offer a comprehensive program that provides individuals with an insightful exploration into their career opportunities. We work together to establish a clear career plan and equip participants with the skills and tools they would need to secure their next role
Why choose Peopleconnexion Outplacement?
SHOW THAT YOU CARE
It is not your responsibility to assist your employees to find a new opportunity, but your care can be demonstrated as you support them through the process. Your transitioning employees will be assisted through this period of change by industry specialists.
HELP PROTECT YOUR BRAND
An outplacement program is a positive reinforcement of your work culture and ethos. It will enhance your organisation’s reputation, future talent acquisition and retention, employee engagement and productivity.
SET DEPARTING EMPLOYEES UP FOR SUCCESS
Exiting employees will learn to leverage their network and are equipped with the skills and tools needed to secure the next role.
MINIMISE THE COSTS OF DOWNSIZING
It may seem counter-intuitive to invest in exiting employees, especially when the reason for downsizing may be to cut costs. However, the actions taken during downsizing often have a lasting effect on the morale, trust and productivity of the remaining staff. If the effects of organisational change are left unaddressed or are neglected, the cost of remaining staff being disengaged may consistently outweigh the savings gained from reductions in personnel.
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY OF YOUR LEADERS
As outplacement programs leave a positive impact on the morale and productivity of teams, leaders are able to better manage and concentrate on their remaining employees.
KEEP YOUR DOOR OPEN
This is your opportunity to leave a lasting impression on experienced employees who you have invested in, and would invest in in the future if given the opportunity. If you lose a staff member, keep in mind that it does not have to be forever, and valued team members should always know they are welcome back.
PX Outplacement Program in Action
Following changes, BAT PNG required an external provider to assist with outplacement services for a range of staff across multiple business functions.
Peopleconnexion managed the successful delivery of the outplacement program to the affected employees. Our program ensured that all outplaced employees received CV support, advice on personal branding via LinkedIn, interview guidance and job searching strategies.
“Highly interactive and engaging workshops”
Peopleconnexion delivered a series of career transition workshops to over 130 Abt Associates staff in its PNG office. It was a tremendous success and rather than staff feeling nervous about their future careers as Abt’s current program comes to an end, they became invigorated and enthusiastic about their potential. Kristine and her team of Papua New Guinean colleagues facilitated a highly interactive and engaging workshop, demonstrating a strong appreciation for PNG culture whilst also recognising the expectations of an international employer. We will definitely look to work with Peopleconnexion in the future.
