The Brief
The company was undergoing a significant restructure and required a major input of outplacement support across numerous sites in regions across England and Scotland, often with delivery required simultaneously at a wide range of geographical areas.
The Approach
Careful planning with Central and Regional HR staff to arrange organisation and logistics for a comprehensive programme of outplacement support across HQ and multiple regional sites. A letter and briefing sheet of FAQ’s to explain the support programme was made available to staff. This was followed up by group briefing sessions to consolidate awareness of programmes and explain practical arrangements.
Group Workshops were then delivered covering Career Appraisal, CV preparation, Approaching the Job Market and Interviews and Self Marketing Techniques. Via selection through completing preference forms, staff could also opt for additional support workshops in Retirement Planning, Stress Management and Self Employment. Additionally Independent Financial Advice was arranged in group and one to one format covering aspects such as budgeting, investment options and financial aspects of retirement planning.
