Outplacement Services
Outplacement services are becoming an increasingly popular and ethical way for organisations to help employees they have had to make redundant enter the jobs market.
At Centric HR we provide a range of outplacement services to support groups of individuals or on a one2one basis for those going through a redundancy process. Our outplacement portfolio allows us to offer a range of outplacement services to suit all budgets and requirements from the shop floor to the boardroom.
Ideally outplacement services will meet an individual’s requirements and can be accessed before the course takes place. Dependent on the individuals previous experience and skill set, they may require additional support in relation to transferable skills into other senior positions in alternative industries or promotion into more senior roles.
Outplacement Services can either be delivered as a training course (2-3 days) or be provided as a ‘pick and mix’ approach allowing individuals to choose what and how they would like to be supported. All Individuals would have a pre-call with the consultant to understand their needs and requirements which is normally up to 1 hour.
