Outplacement Programme
Global competition, innovation in technology, business process outsourcing and poor business performance are some rationale for organisations making some roles redundant in the organisation. While some of the causes are inevitable and organisations could hardly avert making people redundant, it is however within the control of most organisations to provide a soft landing for their employees who are laid off. Since work is not only a means for economic existence but also a social activity, a source of personal identity and status, the event of being laid off can prompt personal changes for individuals, leaving them with psychological impact such as loss of dignity, loss of confidence, anxiety, depression and despair. The confusion of what happens next is another major disturbance experienced by individuals made redundant. Organisations are not only becoming conscious of the impacts of redundancy on the leaving individuals, but also on those remaining and its effects on the reputation of the organisation especially as it affects the ability to recruit high performing individuals and maintain a good image with its customers. Hence, most organisations are embracing outplacement services. Career Edge works with organisations who want to assist their leaving employees in making a soft landing and leading a new life after work. Our outplacement services are personalised to individuals even when administered as a group. This programme covers the following- Helping the laid off employee answer the question “what next?”
