Outplacement Coaching.
As organizations head into Q4 and see the end of the year on the horizon, HR is often tasked with carrying out plans to save money. More often today, this means slashing salary expenses and reducing the work force.
HR leaders are given the difficult job of planning the process, delivering the worst of news all while protecting the reputation and liability of their organization.
Outplacement coaches can be good partners in carrying out these difficult assignments.
Experienced executive career management consultants can help HR leaders reduce their liability and protect their corporate reputation by helping their most senior outplaced leaders adapt to the change and move on. Nothing will change the fact that leaders who part way with the company will often carry anger and resentment out the door with the box of their personal belongings. Thats when outplacement coaches work begins to transform the experience into a good outcome for the employee and the company.
Through the outplacement process, coaches help executives:
- Individually, coaching them one-on-one with trained, senior leader coaches, many of whom have experienced layoffs in their own careers
- Holistically, often coaching close family members of the employee to ensure they have resources to work through their inevitable struggles
- Quickly, allowing them to experience the inevitable emotion that comes with a layoff can help an executive more quickly see the event as a positive change and see the possibilities that can come as a result.
- Efficiently; by minimizing the chances of litigation by an outplaced employee suing their former employer for wrongful termination. Outplacement coaches help them develop an attitude conducive to their best interest and the companys.
If you are reviewing your business budgets and are beginning making workforce decisions for next year, you may want to consider contacting an outplacement coach to help you create the best outcome possible. Management consulting companies specializing in outplacement coaching are happy to meet with you face-to-face to confidentially discuss the choices youre considering and how they can help you create a better future for the organization and your valued employees.
