Outplacement Consultancy: Training and Support via Internet
TeamHR is able to offer a network of experienced career coaches/career counsellors and job search coaches for one to one and one to many face to face support to underpin your outplacement needs.
TeamHR is also to offer on going "internet based" outplacement training support for staff in all aspects of job search and interview preparation. All too often organisations provide one/two-day outplacement training for staff but at time of such upheaval it is almost impossible to provide this training at the right time for all staff. Everyone responds to and experiences change, such as redundancy, differently. Therefore people are ready for training, to help them move forward, at different times. The value in TeamHR's Internet-based training modules is that people can access them from an email address of their choice (home or work) anytime during a 12 month period for a fixed fee.
Unlike traditional courses the training is available as and when the user is receptive and needs the information.
The privacy of users is protected by the use of password and user ID access. The site is easy to navigate, uncluttered and free from advertising.
The Internet based training comprises of a detailed outplacement programme containing all the information needed to carry out a well planned, professional job search. Topics include:
- analysing strengths
- setting career objectives
- writing a strong CV
- discovering the best ways to look for jobs
- how to network effectively
- interview skills
- information for those thinking of self employment
Included in the programme are samples of CVs, interview questions and answers, letters, telephone conversations and recruitment agency information.
The site also offers other training covering: Guidance on the impact of personal appearance, image and body language; Information on reviewing your finances and obtaining financial advice.
The cost of this standard package of outplacement support for staff is from as little as £250 per user email address per 12 month period. However further options can be added, for an additional charge, as outlined below. The outplacement service stresses the value of networking for people looking for new work opportunities. The optional services available at an additional cost per user are shown below. Please contact us for a detailed estimate.
Optional Outplacement Services
Networking
Networking is an invaluable part of finding the best possible job. It is an accepted fact that over 40% of all vacancies do not reach recruitment agencies or advertisements. In the Outplacement training we explain how to network effectively. Our Internet site also provides the tools to enable members to maintain and extend their network. In addition the sponsoring company can stay in touch with the released staff. This may be to provide answers to frequently asked questions or to fill unexpected vacancies. The following elements further describe this Networking service.
Directory/Messaging Service
Within strict privacy safeguards the Directory holds details of all users. Individuals can remain in contact with each other and network via the e-mail messaging service. This overcomes the frequently expressed view that a major blow for redundant staff is losing touch with ex-colleagues and friends.
Notice Board
The Notice Board enables users to post and read notices and information relevant to their job search or networking. Topics might include:
- news of people finding jobs
- information about job vacancies
- personal news
- invitations to support groups or social gatherings etc
Sponsoring companies or organisations can use the Notice Board as a means of easy communication with released staff. We also make the Notice Board available (at no cost) to companies who wish to display suitable vacancies.
Links To Other Sites
This section provides users with easy links to other helpful sites such as Worktrain, recruitment agencies, training providers, news and financial sites.
Bulletin Board
The Bulletin Board contains useful documents from a range of sources, covering topics such as savings, tax matters etc. Typically, bulletins are longer and more formal documents which users may want to store on their PC for use offline. In this area, sponsoring companies have the facility to display any documents they wish to communicate to the released staff. For example a list of answers to frequently asked questions might help to save the HR Dept time.
