Good Outplacement Services Bring Human Touch

Endeavor Agency recently helped a downsized employee who was not happy with the outplacement services offered by her previous employer.

“It was a waste of my time,” she said. “I don’t know why they bothered spending money on those services. It was just one more insult.”

It’s never a joy to go through a downsizing. This client was laid off as part of a large restructuring where hundreds of her colleagues received the same bad news. The company hired a big-brand outplacement firm with a recognizable name to help the employees transition. Unfortunately, the employer chose a low-cost plan and their efforts to provide support backfired.

Only Basic Outplacement Services Given By Employer

“It was very impersonal,” she began. “The first person I spoke with seemed nice, but the guidance was all very basic. It was a different person each time I called. Then, they kept trying to shuffle me off to their online platform versus spending any time helping me. I wanted more direct human interaction and guidance instead of an online system or information that I could find with a Google™ search.”
