Outplacement coaching

Supporting leavers with flexible outplacement coaching

Leaving an organisation through redundancy can be a daunting experience. These are turbulent times and outplacement coaching can give your employees a great opportunity to prepare themselves for their next job or career. This type of coaching is usually offered as part of a separation or redundancy agreement and can help to ‘soften the blow’ whilst strengthening employer brand. We focus support on helping people leave as ambassadors for the organisation.

Employees taking part will ideally attend six one-to-one sessions tailored to their specific needs. Typically, the first session will focus on exploring reactions to the news, general readiness to job search and explore which aspects of outplacement will be most beneficial.

Thereafter, sessions might cover:

  • CV creation and/or improvement
  • enhancing presence on social media and LinkedIn profile
  • interviewing preparation & answering key questions
  • techniques for taking part with assessments
  • using networks effectively
  • using head-hunters and agencies
  • making direct applications

Case study: Outplacement

A combination of challenges sadly meant that job losses were inevitable at this global development charity. People Business proposed a structured outplacement programme that was flexible in design to meet specific requirements for each employee.

Comments from clients who have received outplacement coaching from People Business

“Working with Chrissie provided me with a little oasis of support and encouragement during a very difficult time. I loved how she would flex what we did in each session based on developments, progress made and the greatest need at the time. We covered a whole range of things, and she helped me prepare for a really important interview and another important negotiation to conclude on a new position.

“People Business provided a great outplacement programme for our employees as the programme was both personal and flexible. The employee feedback was very positive, and it’s a pleasure to hear that the support from People Business help provide the skills needed to secure alternative employment or different ventures.”
