Outplacement Services
The global and local marketplace has been radically disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing many companies to rethink strategies, restructure operations, and navigate difficult decisions such as job redundancies and retrenchments.
Without the correct support processes, terminating employees can have a devastating ripple effect – leaving individuals emotionally traumatised, unprepared, and struggling to find alternative employment. This not only impacts the individual but also the economy, as thousands enter the ranks of the unemployed.
At The Focus Group, we offer a comprehensive Outplacement and Career Transition Service to assist companies and their displaced employees during these challenging times. Our team of experts ensures the process is managed professionally, sensitively, and in full compliance with legislative requirements, while helping your organisation meet its objectives.
