New low-cost employee redundancy workshops help employers provide duty of care and retain positive brand
- Practical workshops provide positive support for all employees affected by redundancy
- Low-cost enables more companies to provide duty of care and smooth the transition for redundant – at all levels - as well as retained employees
- Three different, practical workshops help employees maintain self-esteem and capitalise on strengths to find new employment
- Workshops provide guidance on ‘Re-energising’, Re-inventing’ and ‘Re-skilling’
- The price for each delegate is £200 plus VAT for each workshop
Employers facing redundancy decisions that couldn’t normally afford outplacement support below a certain level of seniority, can now offer a choice of three low-cost practical workshops for all outgoing staff. The workshops, from Assessment & Development Consultants, help employees maximise self-esteem and capitalise on individual strengths to launch their new job search with conviction. The workshops help organisations show employer duty of care, retain positive employer brand and smooth the transition period for retained employees.
Nigel Povah, Managing Director of A&DC says, “It’s hard to see any positives in redundancy. Handled badly, it can result in low employee morale, a loss of commitment from those who remain and a reduction in productivity at a time when you need it most. This often leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy of continued poor performance and the need for further rationalisation.”
“However, if the redundancies are handled with care and consideration, you can maintain the goodwill of those leaving the business, provide them with a faster and smoother transition into employment, help you to retain your positive employer brand and improve the morale of your remaining employees.”
A&DC has over 20 years experience in behavioural assessment and is expert in the skills and behaviours required for an individual to be successful in their job search. This knowledge is applied through each workshop to help employees meet their new career challenges. The workshops are named ‘Re-energising’, Re-inventing,’ and ‘Re-skilling’.
- ‘Re-Energising’ maintains employees’ self-esteem by understanding their individual strengths, and how to capitalise on them in a practical way to effectively seek new employment. An appropriate level of positive energy helps them tackle challenges and embrace their situation confidently.
- ‘Re-Inventing’ helps employees prepare for and pursue relevant job opportunities to maximise their chances of success at each stage of the recruitment process, from submitting an application, supporting performance with psychometric tests and best handling the final interview. It helps employees re-invent themselves to help appeal to prospective employers, as well as create an effective job search action plan.
- ‘Re-skilling’ specifically helps employees prepare and succeed at the most demanding selection tool of all, the Assessment Centre. The development of the skills identified will also help employees to perform more effectively at earlier stages of the recruitment process.
The price for each delegate is £200 plus VAT for each workshop.
