Outplacement & Career Transition Services Australia

Outplacement is a corporate service paid for by an employer to support employees exiting the business due to redundancy or restructuring. It provides practical career coaching, emotional support, and job search tools ans strategies to help outgoing staff secure their next role with the help of an expert Careers Practitioner.

In most cases, outplacement services are fully funded by the employer as part of the redundancy package.

Providing outplacement is a critical risk mitigation strategy. It protects your employer brand, reduces the likelihood of unfair dismissal claims or legal disputes, and maintains the morale of your remaining staff by demonstrating that you treat people with respect. Investment in outplacement services shows good will and is a practical way to help existing staff find new employment quickly.

Recruitment agencies work for employers to fill specific vacancies. Outplacement providers work for the individual staff member, equipping them with the skills and strategies to transition into new employment.

We pride ourselves on agility. We can be available for pre-notification planning immediately and can have consultants onsite or available virtually within 24 hours to support staff immediately after their notification meeting. Alternatively, if your staff and teams are ready to commence outplacement services, we can be available in as little as 1 – 2 weeks to provide services including Career Counselling, Resume Writing, Interview Coaching and Networking.

While we provide the employer with high-level reporting on engagement (e.g., “Steph has attended 3 sessions”), the specific content of the conversations between the outplacement career coach and the participant remains 100% confidential.
