Why employers use outplacement
Redundancy is difficult. How you handle it matters.
When redundancy, restructuring or organisational change affects your people, the support you provide afterwards matters.
For employees, it can create uncertainty, loss of confidence and a sudden need to rethink their career.
For organisations, it creates additional pressure for HR and managers while raising important questions around employee experience, employer reputation and the wellbeing of those who remain.
Outplacement gives your people professional support through that transition while giving your organisation a structured, independent service to rely on.
Careers BFF provides the career transition support, allowing your HR and leadership teams to focus on the wider change programme.
