The group outplacement program is utilized when
a number of employees are terminated through a reduction in staff. Corporate
reorganization, plant closing, merger, or acquisition may be the cause.
The following services can be used separately or in combination:
Management Training Seminars
Management training seminars instruct human resource professionals and
line managers how to implement the notification of a layoff. Each manager
is given the opportunity to discuss personal feelings as well as concerns
regarding both affected and remaining employees. Common employee questions
are identified, and appropriate responses are discussed. These seminars
ensure that a consistent company message is delivered.

Placement Support Center
A placement support center may also be established to provide office
space for employees to conduct their job searches. This is the focal
point for resources such as follow-on counseling, word processing, telephones,
fax machines, copiers, administrative support, research materials, and
videotaping.

Job Search Seminars
Job search seminars, usually one, two, or three days in length, orient
the employee to the outplacement program and address any initial emotional
reactions. Trainers teach every aspect of the job search process, with
special emphasis on utilizing available resources and preparing resumes
and cover letters necessary to gain a competitive edge in the job market.

Counseling
Counseling supplements on the job search seminars and focuses on individual
concerns and problems. Each consultant assumes responsibility for specific
employees, which assures a high level of familiarity and consistency.
Workshops are given to small groups of employees for extra support in
the areas of networking, resume writing, interviewing, selecting references,
and targeting correspondence to various employment sources.

Job Development
Job development is an integral part of the group outplacement program
and provides the vital link between employees and potential employers.
An aggressive mail and telemarketing campaign solicits job openings
locally and/or nationally and provides employees with immediate access
to hundreds of available jobs.
