While most outplacement firms offer extensive
computer and internet resources, the CFPS approach is based on the
reality that workers who are laid off represent a viable risk and
would benefit from a focus on enhancing their resilience. The CFPS
edge focuses on integrating the best in career development services
with outstanding job search training and a unique focus on the whole
person. We strive to help our clients manage the loss of a job in a
way that enhances their resilience and that ultimately helps to
achieve results (such as a new job; less animosity toward the previous
employer; a sense of renewal about one’s career)
The problem:
·
Laid off workers who leave unhappy with their home
organization can end up creating negative public relations
·
Laid off workers who leave unhappy may file legal action
against their employers
·
Laid off workers may represent very real mental health
challenges to themselves, their families, and communities
·
Laid off workers may end up joining regulatory bodies
that can constrain the business options of their employer
The CFPS edge:
·
Unlike other outplacement firms, all of our services are
provided by licensed psychologists with training in both mental health
issues and career development
·
Our services can help laid off workers manage their
emotional reactions, thereby allowing them to focus on the challenging
task or getting a new job and/or reinventing their careers.
·
We focus on helping clients view the career transition
as an opportunity to rewrite the story of the next chapter of their
working lives.
·
We use the latest in assessment tools, including
traditional assessments and newer narrative tools
·
We help clients to access the extensive (and low-cost)
resources that exist in their communities (hence keeping the
outplacement costs low)
·
We help clients build on their resilience and inner
strengths, while providing state of the art skills in job search
skills, interviewing, and negotiation of salaries.
