Outplacement
is provided by employers to help staff move on from
the redundancy as quickly and effectively as possible.
This can involve assistance with job-hunting techniques,
discussions regarding career direction, planning
early retirement, or starting your own business.
Re-structuring
a business that necessitates downsizing, for whatever
reason, can be a disheartening process for all involved.
Fortify’s programmes are designed to ensure
that the redundancy process is well-orchestrated,
that the news is delivered to all concerned in as
professional and compassionate a manner as possible,
and that those affected are effectively and thoroughly
assisted in making the transition into the next
phase of their working lives. |
