outplacement

Organisational change resulting in redeployment and redundancy is a situation that many organisations face in the constantly changing and highly competitive business world in which we operate. Managing this process effectively and supporting individuals through change can bring very tangible benefits to organisations.

Outplacement support can be provided by insight, in the form of a highly flexible and bespoke package of solutions. insight has provided outplacement support to a range of clients in differing situations and over time has developed a comprehensive menu of options that can provide real solutions to organisations’ needs. Any solutions we recommend are fully tailored to the needs of your organisation and not an ‘off the shelf’ package.

What tools can be used in the provision of outplacement support?

In addition to personal support and counselling techniques we assist individuals to remain focused on new career opportunities by using some or all of the following:

Career counselling to establish preferences and identify action plan
Career transition, to help individuals identify job opportunities and understand assessment centre processes

CV support
Job application support
Access to a large number of advertised jobs including interim roles
Psychometric testing, e.g. personality questionnaires to identify preferences and attitudes
Ability testing e.g. verbal and numeric tests to assess skill levels
Individual in-depth feedback sessions

	"After working in the same organisation for almost 20 years, the last seven in a senior management position, like a lot of other organisations I found myself facing a re-structure/redundancy situation. I’d been for internal interviews but just two externally throughout the entire 20 year period. My organisation put me in touch with Insight and I started work with Julie on the six sessions booked. We built an excellent CV, which boosted my confidence to start job hunting. We also worked up a covering letter for all applications, and spent time researching job opportunities on the internet, and briefly discussed interview techniques. I have now successfully found another job, and feel the time spent with Julie at Insight has helped, being able to openly and honestly discuss my fears and concerns about being on the job market after so long and being armed with a relevant and up to date CV."
