Outplacement: Help your people find what’s next, whether it was your decision or theirs
How You Say Goodbye Profoundly Impacts the Employee Experience
Every career has milestones, beginnings, and endings. Outplacement is an intrinsic element of a person’s career cycle. People pay attention to how companies treat their people – as candidates, employees and exiting alumni. Done well, proper off-boarding can result in many positive outcomes. Done badly, it can be a disaster for both the individual and the organization.
Whether voluntary or involuntary, employee separation is inevitable at some juncture. At Right Management, we advocate for a transparent, human-centered approach to outplacement. Knowing you have it, increases your employees’ confidence and trust in you.
When the outplacement process is visible and communicated as part of 360-degree career planning it preserves the relationship, controls the exit, eases necessary knowledge transfer, mitigates legal issues, controls unemployment costs, and often reduces voluntary resignations.
The Solution: Outplacement
We provide departing employees with support, guidance, and resources to explore the market, and find their next ideal role. Our services include resume help, expert career coaching, and individualized reskilling and upskilling powered by our online learning platform with dynamic job resources. For those closer to traditional retirement, we also supply Life Options coaching, designed to facilitate exploration, and focused decision-making beyond traditional employment.
For the employer, well-orchestrated offboarding offers many benefits. It smooths the transfer of vital insight and knowledge from experienced employees to newer employees. It mitigates the danger of reputation damage, and potential, expensive litigation. It sparks an opportunity to gain crucial opinions about how the organization can improve, through an objective exit interview process.
Maintaining good relationships with former organizational alumni is precious. Those valued people may be coming back some day or may direct you to new sources of talent. Above all, humane outplacement services offered to the people who helped build your organization is simply the right thing to do, if you are committed to making a better world, economy, and community.
