Outplacement: Supporting Smooth Career Transitions

When redundancy becomes necessary, it can be a difficult experience for both the employee and the organisation. Employers must navigate legislative requirements while supporting affected team members through a significant life and career change.

At WorkPlacePLUS, we understand that effective outplacement is not just about helping someone find a new job,  it’s about restoring confidence, direction, and stability after a challenging transition.

What Is Outplacement and Why Does It Matter?

Outplacement is a structured support program or action plan put in place to assist employees in exiting the business and making the career transition from redundancy to new employment as smooth as possible. It provides professional guidance, emotional support, and practical tools to help individuals move forward with confidence.

While some organisations offer in-house support, many choose to engage independent specialists to ensure a professional, confidential and best practice process. Engaging an external consultant can also reduce internal pressures and ensure that both legal and psychosocial safety obligations are met.

Our Outplacement Program supports a smooth and professional transition for your team

WorkPlacePLUS offers a comprehensive Outplacement Program designed to assist employers in supporting staff affected by redundancy.

Each program is tailored to the individual and delivered through a series of one-on-one coaching sessions. Our experienced facilitators work with participants to:

• Reflect on their career goals and transferable skills

• Identify suitable job opportunities and target markets

• Refine resumes and prepare for interviews

• Optimise LinkedIn profiles and digital presence

• Rebuild confidence and motivation after job loss

This process helps participants re-enter the workforce with clarity and resilience, ready to embrace the next stage of their careers.

Partner with WorkPlacePLUS. Our success rate speaks for itself!

To date, 100% of participants in our outplacement program have successfully found new roles after completing the program.

If your organisation is preparing for change or needs to support employees through redundancy, WorkPlacePLUS can help.

Supporting Employers Through Organisational Change

Redundancies often occur alongside broader organisational change such as mergers, restructuring or downsizing. Poorly managed change can increase psychosocial risks, damage trust and impact workplace morale.

Our HR consultants are change management specialists. We partner with employers to navigate these challenges, ensuring compliance with workplace laws, work, health and safety regulations, and best practice standards for employee wellbeing.

By combining strategic change management with compassionate career transition support, WorkPlacePLUS helps organisations manage difficult decisions responsibly and respectfully.
