Biotechnology Company
An outplacement programme was developed and delivered to assist in a redundancy exercise affecting 40 staff. Working in close partnership with the Human Resources team a support programme was initiated from an early stage in the process delivering training and support to line managers who were required to manage the consultation process and meetings. Staff were employed in a variety of roles and levels of seniority including scientists, management and administration staff. All affected staff (both leavers and those left behind) were supported throughout the process with clear and frequent communications, training and coaching support. The programme entailed practical workshops and dedicated one-to-one coaching sessions to assist each person to define their job and career requirements and to successfully execute job searching. The programme provided effective practical and emotional support to leavers and helped them transition successfully from the company to their new careers.
Technology/Communications Company
An outplacement support programme was designed and delivered to 25 staff based in several locations across southern England in a variety of roles and seniority levels including technical, management and administration staff. The programme comprised dedicated, one-to-one coaching support for each person specifically tailored to meet their individual needs. For the majority of people this involved practical and emotional support to define their career goals and job needs, and conduct effective job searching. For others, career coaching to help them to take stock and perhaps change direction entirely was provided.
The programme was highly effective resulting in people transitioning successfully into suitable and fitting new roles.
Local Authority
Outplacement support coaching programmes were delivered on an ad hoc basis to senior managers throughout a long running restructuring exercise within this local authority. As with all our outplacement programmes, each individual programme was specifically tailored to meet individual requirements and these included taking stock of the career to date, assessing strengths, aptitudes, etc, investigating different career directions, and defining and executing a personal job search plan. To ensure that each person was coping successfully with the redundancy situation support in building resilience and managing stress was provided. As with all managingchange outplacement programmes, participants developed key skills in career management and resilience, which will be of great value in their future careers. All senior managers found suitable new roles considerably more quickly than is otherwise the norm in the prevailing job market as a result of the programme.
