If you are having layoff conversations, then you should also be talking about outplacement services. Outplacement is one of the top benefits that can be offered to your separating employees and isn’t complicated to execute. We all know how unpredictable layoff planning can be and the best outplacement providers know how to turn things around immediately.
Ideally, you already have an outplacement partner that provides compassionate, one-on-one career transition coaching. If you don’t, call ICC, and we’ll talk you through your options and be that trusted resource.
Below are the steps from start to finish to ensure your employees are taken care of during this tough time
