Illustrative examples of ImaginativeHR career review, outplacement & redeployment projects:
1) Large scale outplacement (Defense sector, United Kingdom)
Background:
The ImaginativeHR team was engaged by a UK-wide / multi-site, defence sector, client, which was undergoing significant restructuring, to deliver a comprehensive outplacement support service to over 400 staff members across 10 (some very remote) UK locations, who had either taken voluntary redundancy options or who faced compulsory redundancy.
Solution:
Our team delivered a series of group outplacement events / workshops and one-to-one outplacement programmes (calibrated around 2-6 face to face meetings and / or time based support); alongside a dedicated telephone support team, online career transition resources and access to vocational training for staff members with particular / special requirements. Our flexible and comprehensive support options resulted in a (support) take-up rate of over 80% of the individuals impacted by the restructuring; with the majority successfully transitioned into new roles, self-employment, early retirement and / or further education / re-training.
2) Large-scale redeployment (Financial sector, United Kingdom)
Background:
Following a decision to relocate several UK business units (over a period of 18 months), the ImaginativeHR team was engaged by a global financial services sector client, to provide redeployment support to (over 200) members of its IT team; assisting them to network more effectively within the organisation and to identify new opportunities, whilst maintaining staff engagement levels within the team during a challenging period.
Solution:
Our team developed and delivered a series of bespoke facilitated team events focused on raising awareness of internal career development platforms, developing career self-ownership, effective networking, personal branding and interview preparation. Following these team events, we provided monthly (drop-in) one-to-one, career clinics supported by an online FAQ portal. Team morale and engagement were maintained / enhanced during a very challenging 18 month period and the majority of impacted individuals were successfully redeployed across the organisation.
