An employee can explore ways of engaging and sourcing work through our personalised outplacement services.
The outplacement programme consists of a guided journey. Facilitated by a career coach to explore motivation and support self-examination of what the individual needs and wants from work and to determine what work environment could be, or must be, to deliver satisfaction, meaning and financial security.
Outplacement is a specific type of career transition offered by employers to individuals who are leaving a business or organisation due to redundancy.
Outplacement counselling provides resources for those who are moving to the next stage of their employment journey.
Its purpose is to assist an individual in discovering new opportunities.
HR First offers outplacement support to employees facing redundancy. At the basic level, personalised outplacement delivers support to hone job-seeking skills and CV development support.
However, more importantly, it acts to maintain morale and harness self-worth during a period of economic uncertainty and imposed change, which can be a cause of significant stress.
At HR First, we create learning development opportunities, which provide flexible learning options. You can access courses through various media.
We also recognise the importance of flexibility—creating solutions where learners can engage at a time and place that suits them and the employer.

Employees enrolled in our outplacement counselling programme begin a journey to evaluate their current skills and competencies.
The evaluation examines the 'whole person' and how the capabilities and potential of the individual could be unleashed to apply to alternative roles or within a different sector to widen the pool of job search opportunities.
This can significantly contribute to the achievement of future goals.
After establishing their skills and attributes, individuals will receive tailored career coaching in a nurturing and emotionally secure environment.
This part of the outplacement programme is designed to hone skills and interview practice and to build confidence.
The aim of our outplacement counselling service is to identify and create new opportunities, along with career coaching, to help the former employee transition smoothly to the future, whatever that may hold.
Career counselling is for employees who wish to explore their current job options, motivations and purpose.
This service can also be a part of outplacement offered by employers. It can work well for those who seek a diversified career path or those who are seeking to understand the experience they need to gain for their next career move.
It can also assist with CV building for those who wish to explore engaging with the job market in finding an alternative trajectory to their current career pathway.
Employees often aim to develop a portfolio career or alternative career options to achieve a better life/work balance.
This might be triggered by a significant life change or by an externally imposed change. We tailor each programme to meet both the prescribed circumstances and the individual's needs.
The programme examines individuals' motivations and preferences. It enables individuals to hone and practise presenting existing skills to a different audience.
Additionally, the programme also provides individuals with confidence and a suite of tools to support and enable a career transition.
Generally, each programme uses a mixture of coaching and psychometric questionnaires.
Psychometric testing is a useful diagnostic tool to probe and explore motivation and preferences in relation to work.
The outplacement programme, which uses this depth of understanding in combination with emotional support, builds on these insights to grow self-esteem, restore motivation, and drive for the individual.
The programme is especially beneficial to employees who may have had a change imposed on them by an employer's actions and strategic direction.
The coach facilitates each session, which encourages the participants to challenge and examine their preferences and to self-reflect.
The sessions encourage employees to evaluate motivation, untapped potential and practical ways to accelerate professional development.
This enriches working relationships and inner satisfaction and contentment, contributing to overall team and business success.
