Outplacement Solutions
Redundancies are never easy for employers or employees. But the way you support people during this transition can make a real difference to their confidence, future prospects, and how your business is remembered.
Why Offer Outplacement Support?
Whether you’re managing a single redundancy or a large-scale restructure, providing practical outplacement support shows that your company takes its duty of care seriously. It’s a way to part ways respectfully, protecting your employer brand and supporting people through what can be a difficult time.
The Nurture Careers Platform can be introduced to your teams quickly and flexibly, whether you’re supporting junior admin staff, experienced professionals, or long-serving team members moving into a changing market. We’ll provide usage tracking and insight to show engagement, and can scale support across multiple teams or locations. If you're working with external partners or job centres, we’re also happy to explore collaborative access or funded rollouts.
The Human Impact
Redundancy without support can leave individuals feeling isolated and uncertain. Many suddenly find themselves in a highly competitive job market without up-to-date CVs, rusty interview skills, and shaken confidence. It’s not just about finding another job—it’s about rebuilding self-worth, routine, and security. And if the process is handled poorly, it can lead to long-term mental health struggles and financial strain.
Offering outplacement support—whether through coaching, CV help, job search tools, or career platforms—can make a real difference. It shows that, even in difficult times, the company values its people and wants them to land on their feet.
The Employer's Perspective
Supporting people through redundancy isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s smart business. Outplacement support helps:
Protect your employer brand. The way you treat exiting employees directly affects how current staff, potential recruits, and the public view your organisation.
Maintain morale and trust. Remaining employees are watching. If they see their colleagues being looked after, it builds loyalty and reduces fear.
Reduce legal and reputational risk. A supportive exit process can lead to fewer disputes, grievances, or public criticism.
Encourage positive exits. Employees who feel supported are more likely to leave professionally—and even speak positively about the company in the future.
People Remember How You Made Them Feel
When someone reflects on their time at a company, they might not remember every target or milestone but they’ll always remember how they were treated at the end. Offering outplacement support helps ensure that, even when roles are made redundant, people aren’t.
At a time when employer branding is more visible than ever and when talent is watching how companies treat their people offering support during redundancy isn’t just compassionate. It’s essential.
