Outplacement Services for businesses

Downsizing or lay-offs take their toll on both those who manage the process, as well as on those being terminated. Feelings of loss, anger, betrayal, and fear are common, and so are the questioning of self-worth.

Financially, nearly all organizations experience negative returns ranging from -0.30 to -2.12% during the period immediately following a downsizing announcement. These results are compounded over time by the reaction of the employees who are still working.

The results impact the investor confidence on one hand, and the reputational issues impact the consumer confident on the other. They result in lower investments, fewer sales and fewer new customers. Outplacement assistance for affected employees helps to manage corporate brand and reputation better in these situations. It also helps reduce costs due to the long-term impacts.

Why is outplacement service important for Employers?

Reduces reputational fallout:- Amicable and win-win agreements can convert the terminated employees into willing ambassadors of your company’s brand, endorsing the company online and among their peers, or at least standing neutral
Do the right thing:- Support the employees who have been there through the years, who have helped the company get to its success
Layoffs cause a lot of anxiety among the rest:- Employees who are not terminated wonder if they’re next. Seeing that you are doing right thing with their friends and former colleagues and help them find new jobs calms fears and creates further loyalty • More time for strategy: Outplacements services allow your managers to spend more
