Benefits to the Company
Relevante’s Outplacement Services are not just a compassionate benefit for displaced employees – they’re a strategic investment in your business. Our personalized, high-touch services are designed to support your company’s operational, reputational, and financial goals in times of workforce transition.
Risk Management
Offering Outplacement Services helps minimize potential legal risks and grievances. Our expert coaches assist displaced employees in refocusing on their next career step, diffusing emotional distress and reducing the likelihood of retaliatory behavior or public criticism.
Reputation Management
How a company treats departing employees sends a powerful message to those who remain, as well as to the broader public. Providing Outplacement Services demonstrates compassion and corporate responsibility, preserving your employer brand and building goodwill among all stakeholders.
Preserve Brand Equity
Companies invest significantly in building their culture, reputation, and employer brand. Mishandling employee separations - especially during layoffs - can erode years of progress. Outplacement Services safeguard your hard-earned reputation and support continued recognition as an employer of choice.
Financial Savings on Unemployment Costs
When an employee collects unemployment, those benefits are charged against your unemployment reserve account, which can increase future tax rates. By helping employees secure new jobs faster, our services reduce the duration of unemployment claims-leading to measurable cost savings for your organization.
Flexibility for Companies of All Sizes
There are no ongoing fees or minimums to get started. Whether you're a small business laying off one employee or a large organization facing a major restructuring, our services scale to meet your needs - quickly, compassionately, and effectively.
Fast Turnaround and White-Glove Support
We can begin supporting your employees within 24-48 hours. Our team works one-on-one with each individual until they secure a new job, ensuring personalized support that reflects positively on your organization.
Support for HR and Management Teams
We’re available to assist your internal teams with messaging and preparation for workforce transitions, helping you communicate clearly and empathetically with both exiting and remaining employees.
Employee Morale & Retention
Demonstrating care for departing employees has a ripple effect across your organization. When your workforce sees that you treat people with dignity even during transitions, it builds trust, boosts morale, and strengthens loyalty among those who remain.
Enhanced Employer Attractiveness
Job seekers and top talent pay close attention to how companies treat employees at every stage. Outplacement reinforces your company’s reputation as a responsible, people-centered employer, boosting your talent acquisition efforts.
Reduced Time-to-Productivity for Rehiring
If you plan to rehire in the future, treating laid-off employees well preserves relationships and institutional knowledge. Outplacement increases the chance that rehired employees return engaged and productive.
Compliance with Layoff Best Practices & WARN Act
Providing career transition assistance can demonstrate good-faith compliance with best practices in layoffs, and support efforts to mitigate risks tied to WARN Act violations or class-action lawsuits.
Positive Media and Social Coverage
Handled properly, even a layoff can generate positive PR. Offering Outplacement Services can shape public perception, with media or employee reviews reflecting your commitment to doing the right thing.
