Outplacement services
Being made redundant is something most of us hope will never happen. Unfortunately, many of us will experience it at some time in our working lives. At a time of change, it can be very worrying if individuals are not sure what to do next or have financial concerns.
In the recent economic climate, few sectors have been safe from redundancy. Each redundant worker has their own requirements and as a result we aim to treat each candidate on an individual basis. People are usually happier and more productive in jobs for which their abilities, interests and personalities are suited. Job satisfaction - and therefore life satisfaction - can often depend on an individual's interest and suitability for the role.
Our interventions will enable candidates to market themselves more effectively. In addition, our profiling service provides useful information about the underlying factors that drive individuals. It helps individuals make more informed, and therefore better decisions about their career choices and suitability.
Interventions
To maximise success, we would work closely with clients and can provide the following support for those selected for redundancy:
CV Builder
Our programme will include:
- Awareness of current local vacancies
- Basic PC and IT literacy
- Creation of a CV
- Computer knowledge to find their chosen job/career
- Ability to find key words that are essential to building a CV
- Creating a Covering letter
Personal profile assessments
We use the Thomas International behavioural assessment Personal Profile Analysis (PPA), which provide an insight into qualities candidates can bring to the workplace answering questions such as: What are their strengths and limitations? Are they self starters? How do they communicate? What motivates them?
Human resource tools such as the PPA will help candidates become more aware of their work style. Improving self-awareness gives individuals the means to consolidate and present their strengths. In addition, they can be used to modify communication styles for greater effect at application and interview for a new job.
Interview skills and confidence building
Role playing is an effective way of rehearsing and consolidating knowledge. We are very experienced in preparing candidates for interview and enabling them to present themselves in the most appropriate light. We can deliver sessions that will look at all the factors that affect an interview situation. We will focus on:
- Helping delegates prepare an effective personal statement
- Raise delegate awareness of the impression they make and how they might modify it
- Identify different sorts of questions and how to deal with them
Sessions could be undertaken as half or full-day events. Again, we can deliver this on client premises, at the workshop or at Bolton Business Centre.
Investment
For the interventions identified above, we will provide evidence to the Council for each assessment conducted and evaluation feedback sheets for individual delegates. Our fees are set out below:
- CV Builder - £50 (per candidate)
- Personal Profile Assessment - £125 (per candidate)
- Interview preparation (1/2 day) - £350 (for groups of 4 to 6)
- Interview preparation (full day) - £550 (for groups of 4 to 8)
We would be delighted to discuss these options with you and would be pleased to provide additional support required. Do contact us if you believe these services may be beneficial for you and your staff.
