Practical career support for employees affected by redundancy
Redundancy can be difficult for the people leaving your business and for those responsible for managing the process.
Our Outplacement Services give affected employees the practical guidance, personal support and confidence they need to consider their options and take the next step in their careers.
Support can be delivered through 1-to-1 career transition programmes or group workshops, with the level of support tailored to the people affected.
Help your people move forward with confidence
Good outplacement support involves much more than helping someone to write a CV.
Employees may need time to consider what they want next, understand how their skills translate into the wider market and learn how to present their experience effectively to prospective employers.
Our programmes combine individual career coaching with practical job-search support. Each person leaves with greater clarity about their options, a realistic plan and the tools needed to approach the market with confidence.
Support can be adapted to the experience, circumstances and career needs of the people affected, whether you are supporting one employee or a larger group.

5-STS Career Transition
Comprehensive 1-to-1 support for specialist, technical, management and senior-level employees
Our five-step programme takes the individual from understanding their current position and future options through to actively approaching the job market.
Discovery
Two hours of 1-to-1 coaching and reflection to understand the individual, including their motivations, financial needs, career aspirations, current circumstances and the bigger picture behind their next move.
Optioneering
Two hours of coaching and reflection focused on defining potential career directions.
This includes developing a career autobiography and analysing any gaps between the individual's existing skills, experience and qualifications and those required for their preferred direction.
Planning
Development of a clear short, medium and longer-term career plan, including defined actions to address any identified skills or experience gaps.
The individual leaves this stage with a written plan for moving forward.
Personal branding
Creation of a professionally written CV and LinkedIn profile designed to position the individual effectively in their target market.
The CV contains sufficient depth to allow it to be tailored appropriately for different opportunities.
Release
A 90-minute coaching session covering how to tailor applications and use LinkedIn effectively, followed by interview coaching and a mock interview with individual feedback.

Focused career support for entry-level and non-specialist employees
Our three-step programme concentrates on the practical foundations someone needs to establish their direction and begin an effective job search.

One hour of career coaching to help the individual define their career direction and identify suitable target roles.

A detailed fact-finding session followed by the creation of an effective CV and LinkedIn profile.
Fire
Practical coaching on approaching the job market and tailoring applications, followed by interview coaching and a mock interview with 1-to-1 feedback.
Group Outplacement Workshops
When redundancy affects a larger group, workshops can provide practical support across the core areas employees need to navigate the job market.
Our virtual workshops can accommodate up to 20 people per session and are normally delivered as half-day sessions. On-site delivery is also available.
Workshop topics include:
- Career planning
- Advanced CV writing
- Interview technique
- Navigating the job market
- LinkedIn for job seekers
Organisations would typically book five half-day virtual workshops, covering each of the core topics over a total of 2.5 days.
Flexible support built around your organisation
Not every employee needs the same level of support, and an off-the-shelf programme will not be right for every organisation.
Before recommending an approach, we take time to understand who is affected, their level of experience and the support that would be most valuable. A tailored package can then deliver career transition support in a way that reflects your people, circumstances and budget.
This gives employees relevant support while helping your organisation manage change with care, consistency and professionalism.
