What is outplacement?

When a company decides to make staff redundancies, they have the choice to offer the affected staff a benefit in the form of specialist support to enable them finding a new role quicker.

The scale and individual elements of this support ranges from providing online learning content on CV writing to having a more personalised one-to-one engagement between consultant/coach and employee where advice and help is offered for a period of time to support an entire career renewal programme.

AJW Careers provides outplacement services that involve:

  • Coaching through the immediate negative effects of redundancy. Turning the initial, emotions-loaded period of redundancy into a more productive ‘neutral zone’ resulting in clarity and new ideas on ‘What’s Next?’;
  • Raising awareness of transferable skills and achievements that may be overlooked otherwise;
  • Exploring personal preferences and best fit regarding careers;
  • Coaching for feeling good about the own abilities and values;
  • CV-writing support to express the skills and abilities in a clear and structured way;
  • Coaching to perform well in application and recruitment processes.

In addition to the above, AJW Careers also offer continued coaching throughout the transitioning into the new role. We treat our work with clients as a whole process involving both ending and new beginning.
