LHH appointed as outplacement partner for Tata Steel UK

LHH, a leading integrated talent solutions provider and global business unit of the Adecco Group, has been appointed by Tata Steel as its outplacement partner to support the company’s employees through its transition to low CO2 steelmaking.

Outplacement is a service paid for by an employer to support staff affected by redundancy. It gives impacted employees access to resources and a support network to help them successfully transition to the next stage of their career. Once the contract is signed, the service and outcomes are established to work solely, and independently for the benefit of employees.

Selecting strategic support

To support employees who are directly impacted by the move towards low CO2 steelmaking, Tata Steel UK, and the Transition Board, put out a tender and LHH was appointed following a competitive process.

Chris Jaques, Chief HR Officer, Tata Steel UK said: “The review team was really impressed by the experience and levels of support that LHH can offer, which will be a vital part of the transition process. We want to ensure all affected employees are given the support needed to help them through this transition.”
