CORPORATE OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES

A reduction in force is difficult on everyone the employee leaving, the remaining staff, and those who have to deliver the news. No company takes a layoff lightly, but the hard decision has been made, and now it’s time to do what is best for everyone. In today’s economy, the decision to use outplacement services needs to be considered carefully, weighing benefit against cost. Even if you have cut back on outplacement services with large providers, you can still offer key employees with services tailored to them. Career Coach Jill provides a Win-Win solution that accomplishes both goals.

Affordability for Your Company

As opposed to large Outplacement Firms who charge a set fee based on all the services they offer, Career Coach Jill allows your firm to pay only for services rendered. Paying for services on an hourly rate basis will prove to be the most affordable way to deliver outplacement. A company’s reputation as an employer is critical to its ability to recruit and retain high-caliber employees. How it treats those employees during times of economic stress can impact how it will be viewed in the marketplace when the economy turns around and staffing again becomes a priority.

Customizable services include:
• Choose the number of coaching sessions to be provided and a time frame in which they are to be delivered.
• Pay only for coaching received. If your transitioning employee lands a new position quickly, or chooses not to participate, this will be reflected in your company’s final invoice.
• Know that it has provided a customized, high-quality service that reflects positively on your organization.

Jill is a wonderful business partner in understanding the requirements and needs of sister departments and in suggesting real-world improvements to enhance our staff's experience and retention. She is very responsive to specialized requests, finding creative ways to deal with challenging HR issues. - DL, Corporate IT Manager, October 29, 2008
