Redundancy : HR Firms are hired to "Outplace" Staff

The downsizing of staff by a company is a normal function of business cycles. There are benefits to hiring an external HR firm to assist in the outplacement of process as it temporarily installs a mediator in the company who will attend to both the staff who are leaving and those who remain. It is important for the companies to protect their brand as a "good employer".
The process will help managers use best practice in these situations and take into account organisational structure post the downsize. In the case of dealing with workers who have been targeted with redundancy preparation is key. Be sure to keep lines of communication open and to have definate timelines is recommended. Jobjet is here to assist in the next step, which is finding the staff a new employer. By invovling a professional HR firm the transition can be made much easier for all concerned.

Staff Transfer : A New Opportunity for HR Firms

It is not always necessary for a company to wait until there is merger or acquistion to review the company structure. HR consultants are often hired to review the structure of a company and recommend changes in staffing levels and training. One new area HR firms are becoming involved in is that of staff transfers. We have found staff are usually more open to an external HR consultant when talking about their career path. This career path of a person when they consider their career goals on a timline may not always be "best" served with their current employer. The Company may opt to assist the staff memeber in cases with more training however, retention is not always in the best interests of the company nor the individual. If the person has reach a career ceiling there may not exist any further opportunities within the firm. This person would be consider a "high risk" of leaving the company. Rather the company make no return on the investment made in the person's training by the company we can engage the staff memeber and look at assisting in outplacing the staff memeber to a new employer with the aid of Jobjet. And here is the opportunity; to have company realise there can be returns made to the company by investing in staff training and restructuring.
