HR Managers – do you ever wonder if it’s worth paying for an outplacement consultant to support your people? Maybe you are considering having to make many redundancies because your organisation is going through hard times – can you bear the costs of an individual outplacement service for each person?
Many organisations pay for just one month of support for those most directly affected by outplacement. Even that’s not cheap – so what does a great outplacement consultant offer?
Outplacement Consultants – do you sometimes wonder how much value you add?
As an outplacement consultant I have helped support retrenched employees to overcome thoughts of suicide; I have helped lift the spirits of dejected Executives; I have helped soothe the fears of a team who were transferred to another organisation – a team who might otherwise have considered suing; I have helped support anxious managers giving the news the first time; I have helped support the team left behind to reduce voluntary resignations; I have helped retrenched employees to feel supported through a myriad of rejection letters (and absence of replies to their applications); I have helped them find new work they love; and had them tell me spontaneously “this was the best thing that could have happened for me”.
If you’ve been through the bad times yourself, been retrenched, not had enough work and had the worry of “what next?” – and come through it – then, as an outplacement consultant, you empathise with your recently retrenched client and you are SO valuable to them. If you provide career transition guidance, help to commence a portfolio carer or transition to retirement support, as well, you can take people who are struggling to a higher level that they can’t even imagine right now.
Great outplacement consultants really help those they work with. We help them get where they want to get – faster. We show them the steps, we guide them and we empower them to find work they want or the next steps they have chosen.
With a background in psychology, strategic intervention and NLP I particularly help retrenched executives to manage their mindset. It’s usually not easy to find a job if you don’t have one, for executives it can take months. Outplacement Consultants are gold because they provide psychological wellbeing support, help to persist and ongoing encouragement and coaching.
Why do I love outplacement work?
Because – I have been the phoenix myself once, now I can help clients to rise from the shock and sadness of redundancy. I’m a catalyst for other people to overcome their blocks and mindset barriers to find their next step and maintain their optimism throughout.
Good Outplacement Consultants do great work – and for that I salute all of you! Outplacement consultants are more valuable to the world than it yet realises.
So – is a great outplacement consultant worth it? One hundred percent yes!
- A great outplacement consultant may literally save lives
- A great outplacement consultant provides expert guidance so job seekers get their approach right from the get-go and find a job faster.
- A great outplacement consultant may stop HR from wasting time down at the courts!
