Employee aftercare
Employee aftercare refers to the comprehensive support and assistance provided by an organisation to its departing employees, typically those who have left their employment due to redundancy, retirement, or resignation. This support encompasses various aspects, including:
- Outplacement services: Assistance with job search, CV writing, interview preparation, and access to job boards and recruitment agencies.
- Career transition planning: Guidance on career development, skills enhancement, and exploring new opportunities within the industry or beyond.
- Financial assistance: Provision of financial support, such as outplacement grants, redundancy payments, or other forms of compensation to help employees manage their transition.
- Wellbeing and mental health support: Access to confidential counselling services, stress management workshops, or other resources to address emotional and psychological impacts of job change.
- Networking opportunities: Facilitating connections with former colleagues, industry peers, or professional networks to aid in career progression.
- Exit interviews and feedback: Conducting thorough exit interviews to gather insights on the employee’s experience, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing changes to enhance future working relationships.
- Post-employment monitoring: Monitoring the progress of departing employees to ensure they are adjusting well to their new circumstances and providing ongoing support as needed.
Effective employee aftercare demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to its people, even after they have left the company. It can lead to increased employee satisfaction, improved retention rates, and a positive reputation within the industry.
