Redundancy is often a disheartening time for your team members and may leave them feeling anxious about their future. Outplacement support is one way of helping employees through the transition.
Our thinking is that redundancy isn’t personal, it’s mostly a business decision that makes the role, not the person redundant. Wote Street People’s outplacement service puts your team’s needs first and we tailor the day to what outplacement support is required.
We listen, consult and care
Maxine was approached by a local organisation to support their 15 employees affected by redundancy. Wote Street was recommended to the organisation’s HR manager by a former happy Wote Steet People candidate.
The organisation required a bespoke package of workshops which would best support their exiting employees through the transition and beyond.
Redundancy support – it’s all about YOU!
Maxine and Madelaine spent time consulting with the HR department to gain a deeper understanding of the circumstances around the redundancy. They discussed what type of outplacement solutions would be best suited to the skills, experience and personalities of the staff affected.
The carefully curated day
Maxine and Madelaine attended the organisation’s premises so the employees would feel comfortable and confident in familiar surroundings.
The tailored one-day workshop consisted of:
- Career coaching for managers – helping managers explore where to take their career and job search next.
- CV writing – busting the myths around the perfect CV, learning how to adapt to each application and most importantly not sweating about it until you know what you want to apply for. After all, you wouldn’t make a new cake without a recipe – the job ad/description is your recipe!
- Interview preparation and techniques – the different types of interviews, what to wear post-pandemic, and how to prepare for what is after all a discussion about a business transaction.
- Mental health – from training to how to support your own mental wellbeing during a stressful time and handling rejection.
- On-going support – whatever you need, we’re here with an ear or we can signpost to other help.
A positive experience
The workshop was inspiring and encouraging for all those who attended, and Maxine and Madelaine relished the opportunity to support a fabulous bunch of delegates.
Maxine says:
The positivity in the room was amazing, the employees all supported each other and offered advice and suggestions. Madelaine and I facilitated them to solve their own problems.
The outplacement service it really is all about the employees, not about Wote Street forcing knowledge. It’s a safe space to help people discover what they want to do next, how to approach that goal and how to build resilience, maintain mental wellbeing and feel able to ask for help
