The Advantages of Outplacement Services

In an era marked by rapid turnover, steep candidate competition, and ample platforms for negative feedback, employer branding is more important than ever.

Investing in Outplacement services during employee separations doesn’t just mitigate these risks, it provides a host of benefits for both your organization and impacted employees, including:

• Positive Internal & External Branding: Almost 40% of laid-off or terminated employees will share negative reviews about their former employer. Facilitating employees’ exits with expert support will positively impact your brand’s positioning
• Employee Morale: After a staff reduction, employees who remain often feel more stress and have less trust in management. Offering Keystone Partners’ Outplacement services alleviates this dip in organizational morale
• Faster, Better Re-employment: 82% of participants in Keystone Partners’ Outplacement programs successfully achieve new positions with equal or greater compensation
• Reduce Costs: Unemployment insurance claims can cost your organization thousands of dollars per employee and lead to tax increases for years to come. Quickly connecting displaced employees with the expertise to help them access new opportunities prevents these unnecessary expenses
• Avoid Litigation: If a former employee pursues a wrongful termination lawsuit, your company could be responsible for legal fees. Ensure you empathetically navigate terminations with external outplacement services

Our Employee Separation Services

Individual Outplacement

Outplacement is an increasingly standard practice for organizations. By providing outplacement, you enable the impacted individual to take control of the next steps of their career with the assistance of our certified career consultants. We’ll also help you streamline the transition process, train your managers, and maintain the resiliency of your remaining team.

Group Outplacement

A large-scale reduction carries a greater risk of negative feedback. Because most candidates research an employer’s brand before applying for a position, it’s integral that your organization take steps to prevent unfavorable reviews.

By providing departing employees with as much knowledge as possible, including information on the business rationale and guidance that culminates in a successful job search, we’ll help safeguard your organizational reputation and business goals.

Reduction in Force (RIF)

The prospect of conducting a reduction and an outplacement strategy at any scale is challenging, and it becomes increasingly complex when considering a reduction in force. Keystone Partners can help your organization’s leaders develop a notification plan and corresponding logistics.

From training your HR team on how to navigate this time of transition to supporting departing employees through career consultation and training, we’ll minimize organizational disruption and reduce potential risks.
