Retain your established reputation as an ethical business and employer of preference.

Outplacement

Losing one’s job is one of the most stressful experiences one can go through throughout his/her life. Research shows that only death and divorce cause more disruption.

The risk of retrenchmentsIf not properly managed, retrenchments can negatively impact the workplace through loss of morale on the side of remaining staff or reputational damage. In the worst case, disgruntled employees could take to the CCMA, resulting in lengthy procedures further straining your HR department and eventually affecting your bottom line.

Perhaps most importantly, companies are expected to exercise a duty of care over their employees. In today’s business environment – with a strong focus on ethical business practices- failing to assist retrenched employees in finding alternative employment has simply become unacceptable.

Optimal outplacement strategy and supportOutplacement offers organisations assistance in helping employees transition to new jobs and help them re-orient to the job market. It often includes

a range of services ranging from retrenchment strategies to psychological support.

Providing your employees with appropriate guidance and support will make the retrenchment process less taxing for the entire organisation. In addition to providing your terminated employees with better opportunities to find alternative positions, your remaining workforce will feel acknowledged and confident that you take care of them – preventing the decrease in morale that often materialises during and after retrenchments.

Pro-actively and properly managing your retrenchment process will help your organisation retain its established reputation as ethical business and employer of preference.

Our approachEOH Human Capital manages your entire outplacement process, helping terminated employees through the transition to a new job while providing the employer with peace of mind that the process will be rolled-out in a legally sound, fair and ethical manner.

Our approach starts pre-retrenchment and only ends when employer and employee feel that sufficient support has been provided – which will be decided upon after consultation with our clients.

EOH Human Capital will assign you a dedicated account manager that will work with you to execute the entire outplacement process. No longer will employers have to work with different service providers – EOH Human Capital will take care of the entire process. One point of contact, one contract and one integrated report.
