Supporting your people through change:

Outplacement for Individuals and Groups:

Our experience ensures that your employee/s have both the emotional support and technical expertise to empower them to successfully secure a new, ‘best-fit’, job. Individual programmes are flexible to suit the needs of the person or situation. Programmes typically cover psychological impact support, skills and aspirations evaluation and assessments to determine direction and ‘best fit’ options; creation of a competitive job search strategy including developing networking confidence; CV review/writing; interview skills coaching and job offer/negotiation support.

Providing career transition or redundancy support to employees helps to quickly redirect them towards the future. When individuals are treated fairly and feel well supported to manage the transition, they move on with dignity.

For the organisation the ROI is that;

  • it avoids and/or minimises legal risk
  • it helps maintain a positive employer brand for the company
  • remaining employees get a sense that the employer cares about their colleagues which enhances retention, productivity, and morale.

Our Redundancy Support / Outplacement programs:

On-site support: Having a CareerEQ consultant on-site at the time of the announcement of a restructure and during consultation helps affected employees to feel they can talk with someone who is neutral and empathetic about the situation. They can get independent advice and support to make decisions at this difficult time.

Group Outplacement programmes work well and are cost effective for groups of people of a similar function or level in the business. A mix of group workshops and one on one work give people the best of both worlds; group experience normalises the situation and the additional one on one support ensures that individual needs are met. Workshops cover Career Evaluation and Decision Making, CV Writing, Creating an Effective Job Search, and Interview Skills.

Career Decision Making Support During Restructing:

Deciding on whether or not to apply for an internal role or to accept redundancy during the difficult process of restructuring can be daunting and confusing. Our neutral and expert facilitation to explore options is invaluable. Usually one or two sessions are all that is necessary to establish a clear direction and to make a confident decision.

Working with Suzanne was a dream.  Suzanne brought valuable insights into every session and was committed to ensuring that I got what I needed from our work together.  She was an objective and impactful sounding board, and our work together was both incredibly helpful, and really enjoyable. I have worked with several coaches throughout my career and Suzanne was able to focus on exactly what I needed for each session and build on development I’ve done in the past instead of replicating it.  I have recommended Suzanne to colleagues already and would easily recommend her in the future.

Whatever happens, I’m feeling so much more positive and excited about the future, which is something I haven’t felt in a long time. Thank you so much for your help.
