Outplacement Services to Support Career Transitions

Compassionate support to help departing employees move forward with confidence.

A company's brand and image are everything these days. How a company offboards an employee can be as important as how they onboard a new hire.


Our Outplacement Services reinforce a positive view of the firm by the staff and community. Workforce reductions, layoffs, and other types of employee terminations typically have a negative effect on the morale and productivity of the remaining staff. But if handled properly, the whole process can enhance the dedication and motivation of remaining employees, while showing compassion to exiting employees.


Our AugmentHR consultants are fully trained in outplacement services and specialize in the transition process by helping a terminated employee find alternate employment. 


Outplacement Services include:

  • Career counselling.
  • Resume preparation.
  • Networking skills.
  • Search firm connections.
  • Job search skills.
  • Interview training.
  • Coach employees on particular professional topics of interest.
  • Employment contract assistance.
  • Integration – Setting up for Success.


What Sets Our Outplacement Support Apart
