MJW Careers provides quality Outplacement / Career Transition services that help transitioning employees understand that career changes don’t have to be career-ending. Layoffs are a complicated yet frequent occurrence. For the employer, careful planning and flawless implementation are required to prevent business erosion, as well as the organization’s standing in the community. For displaced employees, high levels of unemployment leave many feeling that they have few options for alternative employment or that their careers have been derailed? For remaining employees, uncertainty levels can rise significantly and productivity levels may decline considerably. The bottom line: these situations can leave many individuals, whether leaving or staying, with a sense of frustration, fear and anxiety. We have provided outplacement support for several Fortune 500 and international companies including Cincinnati Bell, US Cellular, Wieland Electric, Baxano (TranS1), Graham Packaging, Royal Canin, Ports Authority, Hospira and CVS. Laying off workers is never easy. It’s one of the most dreaded functions of HR, and often, it doesn’t go well, resulting in angry people left without a job and skeptical people left with more work to do. Much of that can be avoided with some planning and emphasis on treating those exiting with dignity and respect.
