Outplacement Services

Why are outplacement services valuable to employers?

Studies show that outplacement services result in a 40% reduction in the average unemployed time period! The resources and support provided through outplacement will help the individual engage and connect with more employers more quickly, and with better results. It may also reduce the risk of liability for a company when a departing employee is considering a lawsuit.

When your business takes advantage of CEA’s Outplacement Services, you are:

Sending a positive message to remaining employees, to community and to clients on how employees were treated during a reduction or change
Ensuring a seamless and prompt transition for individuals from their present position to a new position
Provide an individual with hope and an action plan

LAYOFFS

Layoffs are hard for everyone. They are difficult for the employer and the employee, but they can be made much easier with outplacement services. CEA’s Outplacement Services offer many benefits to companies and employees that are experiencing layoffs. With the CEA services offered, employees can make the transition much more smoothly.

TERMINATIONS

We have all been through the experience of having to terminate an employee. When a company releases an employee, whatever the reason, it can be a traumatic experience that affects the employer, employee and those left behind. In this situation, the displaced individual may endure an identity crisis and emotions ranging from fear and anger to despair. These are normal reactions. The next time you release a long time employee, instead of offering a severance package, or perhaps in addition to a severance package, you might consider CEA’s Outplacement Services.
