4. What about the remainers?
Organisations often focus on those exiting the business yet make little investment in those that have retained roles, despite the difficulties and increased expectations that may be placed on these individuals. Developing an engagement strategy that covers all groups, especially those tasked with moving the organisation forwards, is key. It’s critical that individuals understand the role they play and the value they bring in helping shape the new world.
5. Finally, consider what you’re looking for from an outplacement provider.
An outplacement program designed to fit all needs is likely to suit none. Instead, focus on how an outplacement provider can tailor support to suit individual challenges. Consider whether the support includes a focus on transferable skills, the technology provided and ease of access, if participants can choose from a series of topics to suit their career goals, or if it’s scalable. Choosing a provider that meets employees where they are is critical to take the next steps.
There is no doubt that the employment market has changed overnight, and with that takes careful shepherding of employees to help them navigate the stages of their journey. Now more than ever employers who need to pursue outplacement services need help making critical decisions about the future, and it starts with asking the right questions.
