Affordable Job Search Outplacement Services
For Your Displaced Employees

How You Handle An Employee Termination Or Layoff Will Determine Whether You Are Party To A Wrongful Discharge Lawsuit!

Rich Lukesh

Dear Business Owner,

In today’s business environment, there are many reason’s employees are removed from a company:

• Discharged for Cause (Willful Misconduct).
• Terminated for failure to perform to standards.
• Economic layoff
• Downsizing.

With the exception of an employee Discharged for Cause, most employers are very concerned that a displaced employee is able to transition to a new position with minimal financial impact for the employee and his/her family.

To help employees in this important transition phase, employers are including Outplacement Services as part of the separation arrangement to help employees have a “soft landing” through the transition period and to a new job.

Outplacement Services allow an employer the following advantages:

• It allows the company and the employee the opportunity to look to the future and not argue about the past or what is being lost.
• It allows the company to provide an amicable conclusion to a stressful job separation.
• It allows the employee an outlet for his/her anxiety before it leads to anger over the separation which can prevent costly post-employment litigation.
• It can improve the image of the company by communicating an atmosphere of “fair play” especially to the friends and coworkers of the displaced employee who still remain in the organization.

Here’s a little bit of history – In the “Old Days,” a displaced employee who worked with an outplacement firm:

• Had to physically visit the outplacement firm regularly.
• Would have to be physically present to attend generic job search classes.
• Would have occasional face-to-face discussions with a search consultant.
• Would mingle with other unemployed rather than concentrating on finding the new job.
• Would be given a cubicle and a phone extension at the outplacement firm from which he/she would conduct a job search.

…And worst of all, this Traditional Outplacement Model was very expensive for the employer.

Thank goodness the “Old Days” are over…

So, how should Outplacement Services of the 21st Century work?

With Lukesh Consulting Group located in Pennsylvania, how can a displaced employee receive customized, 1-on-1 Outplacement Services if the person is in Ohio, Florida, Arizona, California, Texas, Michigan, etc.?

THE ANSWER:
The Power of the Internet!

That’s right, the power of the Internet allows a displaced employee to logon to a special website and view a Job Search Consultant’s computer screen while the Consultant conducts a 1-on-1 phone coaching session.

The Lukesh Consulting Group Outplacement Delivery Model is Internet-based and customized to the job search needs of the employee. It makes a former employee’s transition to a new position:

• Easy

The Outplacement Services provided by Lukesh Consulting Group are based on the book, Secrets To Getting Hired, written by me.

What is unique about my book, Secrets To Getting Hired, is that it provides job search advice targeted to finding a job in a tough economic environment. More specifically, it provides a displaced employee with:

1. Resume and cover letter strategies from the Information Marketing and Direct Marketing professions that will get employers to pick up the phone and call the person for interviews.

2. Selected Sales Presentation tactics to use during a job Interview that will impress Hiring Managers and get job offers.

Face the facts...A structured Outplacement Program will secure a new position faster for a displaced employee than if the employee conducted the job search on his/her own.

And as an employer, you want that employee fully occupied in a new job search and hired as quickly as possible, rather than sitting at home “stewing” about the circumstances of a separation, which usually leads to a call to a lawyer.

Be proactive when you end employment for reasons other than Willful Misconduct by providing your employees with a “soft landing” through a cost-effective and results-oriented Outplacement Program.

Dedicated To Your Success!
