Outplacement: The Business Case

You invest in Outplacement because even when business realities force tough decisions, you remain honourable leaders committed to your people, and your values-in-action are never more apparent than at times like these.



Why choose values-driven outplacement?

Because the employees who remain are looking to you for leadership that is as compassionate as it is strategic. And because those employees will focus better and be more productive when they are secure in the knowledge that their former colleagues have been well taken care of, easing the burden of change management and hastening your profitability.


Because the day will come when you are expanding again. You might want to hire some of those same people back.  You will definitely want to hire some of the people who move in their circles of personal and professional influence.  And to do that, you need to retain your competitive status as an employer of choice.

 

Because your employees remain representatives of your company even after they have left your employ. The faster the people you let go are able to adjust, the less hardship they encounter, the better they will represent your business, your workplace culture and your brand.

 

Because you’ve worked hard for your good business reputation, and your team members have worked hard for you. You want your former employees to have the best possible chance to quickly move on with their lives. A displaced employee searching on their own will spend approximately 4 weeks for every $10,000 in salary they are seeking – that likely means your best people will be between placements the longest.  And those key people are the ones whose good opinion of you matters most.  Quality, one-on-one outplacement services deliver strategies and resources which cut individual job searching time by 50 – 75%.


Providing values-driven outplacement resources to your former employees helps everyone manage change more effectively. Individualized outplacement programs expedite your company’s return to productivity and profitability.
