Redundancy Support for Employees

Making redundancies is hard. Facing redundancy is even harder. Redundancy is a life-changing event and going it alone can be tough. Which is why values-led employers know the impact of outplacement support services for individuals and businesses far outweighs the investment.

What are Outplacement Services?

Outplacement support services help employees impacted by redundancy figure out their next steps, feel more confident about their future and secure their next role quickly. Our services include career development coaching, interview preparation, CV review and CV writing.

Engaging our services helps you know you’ve done all you can to support people during a difficult time in their lives.

And you can be reassured your colleagues are in good hands as we help them with the skills and support they need to begin moving on with their lives.

Our range of outplacement services is designed to suit a variety of needs and budgets and can be delivered on an individual or group basis.

How do employers benefit from providing Outplacement Services?

Managing redundancies takes a toll on HR professionals – but it doesn’t have to be done alone. Wildwood Coaching will partner with you to provide person-centred outplacement support delivered with empathy and compassion.

Wildwood Coaching’s outplacement services help ease the emotional burden so you can focus on the process, knowing your employees are being professionally cared for.

Other benefits of outplacement support for your business are:

It lets people know you care, going above and beyond what’s required to help your employees at one of the hardest times in their careers
It impacts engagement for remaining employees as they see that you cared enough to do the right thing by their friends
It protects your company’s reputation

Planning for Redundancy

I chose to use June and her team on a number of occasions as they don't just offer a vanilla service like some of the bigger providers. I would highly recommend Wildwood Coaching. The feedback for June and her team from employees who are going through significant change and stress is always fabulous.

Redundancy for Directors

I have been in the unenviable position of being offered the support of outplacement services on more than one occasion. My experience of Wildwood Coaching highlighted to me the inadequacy of what had been provided to me in the past.

It was an impressive team effort, led by June, that culminated in me finding a new challenge that I am very, very happy with. I am enormously grateful to the team and would thoroughly recommend Wildwood Coaching.

Storytelling in Organisations: Bringing Humanity Back to Organisational Change

When organisations face major change - whether that’s a restructure, a new system or a redundancy programme - it’s easy to slip into process mode.

HR and Change Management: Stop Pretending Change is Smooth

When Eleanor Tweddell was made redundant from a job she loved at Vodafone, she didn't expect it to transform how she understood change. Eight years on, she's a coach, author and change consultant who's learned something most of us in HR are getting wrong.

Putting People at the Heart of Collective Consultation

Collective consultation is never straightforward. There are the legal requirements to navigate, multiple stakeholders to manage and throughout it all, real people whose lives are being impacted. After 20 years in senior HR roles, including leading transformation work involving numerous collective consultations, Niki Corbishley from Noo Coaching knows this landscape well.

Building a Fair Redundancy Process: Why Equality Impact Assessments Matter

When redundancies are planned, there's often an assumption that applying the same process to everyone automatically makes it fair.
