HR Heads Outplacement Programme

Programme Objective
To coach, support, train and guide attendees back into new employment, through the development of their awareness, attitudes and self-promotion skills.

The Heads Outplacement Programme is a one-day workshop limited to a maximum of 12 people to ensure individuals get the most out of the day. The workshop can either be run as an in-house programme (for just
one company) or as a public programme (where different companies can elect to send smaller numbers on the workshop at the same time).
Focusing on personal brand, selling your skills, CV creation, LinkedIn profiles and interview preparation and techniques, the morning is delivered across the group. We bring in good and bad examples of what to do and not to do in the “finding a job” process, including example CV’s, “bad” interviews, as well as identifying some example organisations that are currently recruiting.

The afternoon sees a number of consultants from our team supporting candidates on a 1-2-1 basis (like a recruitment “exhibition”) so the process of securing a new role starts immediately. The consultants have specific experience within a variety of sectors.

Programme Overview
Managing change through the redundancy process is never easy. However, if managed professionally, the process can ultimately be efficient, unproblematic and often rewarding for both staff as well as the sponsoring organisation.

The Outplacement Programme enables attendees to explore a series of proven processes to develop their attitudes and capabilities to help secure their next role. It transitions attendees directly into the active job
searching market through immediate registration and interview with a number of specialist consultants on completion of the workshop.
