Modern Outplacement for SMBs:
Practical Support for Departing Employees
Manage realistic expectations
Layoffs are a new reality. I help bring some light to the darkness and energy to flatlined feelings. It's not easy, so I set out to never over promise or under deliver.
PROTECT YOUR EMPLOYER BRAND, FOR REAL
Have you seen Glassdoor after a layoff? Not pretty. Show departing employees compassion by arranging outplacement services that actually helps them and it won't hurt your brand.
CUT OUT OLD, INEFFECTIVE OUTPLACEMENT
No time to waste with inventories, assessments, or systems that are guaranteed to work. Reality -- it's very stressful for everyone; employees and employers so I get right into it. Introductions, transition checklists, unemployment processes, post-employment benefits, career counseling, resumes, etc.
Starting a New Outplacement Partnership
Learn your Team's Outplacement Needs & Scope
Whether you send 1 or 40+ departing employees, I learn your needs and transition timelines, first. Then, customize services as part of a package for each based on career levels (Entry to C-Suite).
Partnership Agreements
Once an agreement is in place, I can plan your upcoming services and be ready to accept future outgoing employees when you need me. Both leadership teams sign off on legal stuff, and we're ready to get started.
Outgoing Employees are Notified of our Partnership
My services will most likely be included in departing employees' severance packages. You'll send me a list with contact information for each. I begin reaching out with intro emails, intake forms, our process, and next steps to get them ready to dig out.
Resumes, LinkedIn, 1:1 sessions begin...
I gather old resumes, intake forms, social URLs, and any relevant docs that help me gauge individuals starting points. Then get to work sharpening their tools to transition. I have edited 6,000+ resumes, 2,000+ LinkedIns & had thousands of career counseling clients.
Weekly Check-ins with Everone
I know what it's like to be laid off and not have a support network. I care and show real empathy. Each week I check-in on progress, frustrations, and help adjust strategies.
Leadership Updates
I'll let you know how many outgoing employees are using my services, which ones, plus any key findings from their departure. I maintain 100% confidentiality, of course.
