Career Transition & Outplacement
Businesses are evolving faster than ever before, and that means changes may also occur in the team. The termination of an employee is difficult for all parties involved. It is challenging for the employee who has held a position and now has to face change on all fronts – personal and professional. It is also difficult for the CEO or executive that has to deliver the message. Whether a line employee or an executive, it is important that the termination process is handled in a professional manner. The Innis team has more than 30 years of experience helping organizations and employees though all the steps in this process.
What we offer:
- Comprehensive approach for all parties
- Tailored services to meet your individual needs
- Mobile friendly 24/7 access through our online tools
What makes us different:
The career transition programs are based on the proprietary, copyrighted, intellectual property of The Innis Company. The intellectual model the firm built and uses presumes that career transition is about learning how to manage the rest of one’s career, as well as finding the right, next job. The Innis Company’s content and expertise is targeted to those companies who are concerned about process and outcomes for separated employees; companies that care about the experience their employees have after they leave the firm and care about the relationship the firm has with their service provider.

Additional outplacement services that we offer:
The Innis Company provides on-site, post notification consulting with the affected employee. These events can and have included consultation to the notifying manager prior to delivering the termination message, as well as counsel on logistics, security and exit strategies.
The Innis Company consultant, on-site for notification day, will provide assistance to members of the Human Resource team and the notifying manager to help minimize anxiety and provide suggestions for delivering the message.
Each separated employee is provided with a “Handling the First 48 Hours” guide, which includes advice for communicating the news to family and friends, and on immediate concerns and emotional reactions.
Our consultants proactively reach out to each employee upon separation within 24 hours of separation. The consultant ensures that the employee is emotionally processing the news and is moving forward.
For those employees not seen on separation day, The Innis Company prepares and delivers a letter of outreach to communicate the outplacement benefit being provided by the client company and how to take advantage of the service.
On a routine basis, our project team reaches out to company management for feedback and review of any recent projects. The team also provides ideas for alternative programming based on employee response.
