Outplacement
Accelerating career transition
PACE Training offers curated outplacement solutions to assist you with your responsibilities towards your outgoing employees and to ensure that your outgoing employees smoothly transition to a new career. Letting go of employees is an understandably difficult decision for everyone involved. However, dynamic restructuring is a business reality in today’s economic environment. The way you handle the delicate layoff process will directly affect the reputation of your organisation as well as the lives of your transitioning employees. Further, it will also have a significant impact on the mind-set of your existing employees, who will be paying close attention to your decisions during this period.
Mercer’s Outplacement Survey Report, conducted by DirectEmployers and CareerArc and responded by real-time HR professionals, lists the top-3 reasons why companies opt for outplacement services. They are:
- To help transitioning employees get a new job
- It felt like the right thing to do
- Maintain my company’s image and reputation
Our outplacement services will provide crucial support at a delicate time. We will help your transitioning employees identify and capitalize on new career opportunities and find fulfilment through a new beginning. Simultaneously, our efforts will enhance your reputation and help your organisation set the right example.
Our goal is to create synergy through our outplacement solutions. Outplacement support has become the industry standard today. All the respected companies are making sure that they provide a strong footing to their transitioning employees. This will make sure that they have the right ecosystem for personal and professional change.
Our outplacement model consists of one-on-one coaching interventions. The structure, duration, and format of coaching interventions is bespoke and will be conceived only after rigorous examination of all the factors involved.
PS: We strictly do not deploy group coaching for outplacement.
ABOUT OUTPLACEMENT.
Outplacement is the support service provided by organizations to individuals who are exiting their company – with a view to help them re-orient themselves for new career beginnings. It can help impacted employees transition quickly and successfully into new jobs and careers. Outplacement typically has three functions – Coaching, Career support, and Landing. It has been observed that offering result-oriented outplacement support has a positive impact not only on those who are departing, but also on the remaining employees as they take notice of their company’s efforts and become less fearful of uncertainty.
