WorkScales also offers a range of outplacement programmes and workshops suitable for all levels of staff.
When companies are restructuring, not all offer outplacement to those leaving, but it does help soften the blow of redundancy by providing practical help and demonstrating that you appreciate the contribution those who are leaving have made. This in turn makes your ex-employee value him/herself more and shows surviving staff that you have put some thought into the impact restructuring will have on employees and company morale. We also offer guidance on how to break the bad news and how to lessen the effect on the surviving staff. Staff can be seen in-house or in serviced offices around the UK.
