RESTRUCTURING AND OUTPLACEMENT
Care about your employees, even when you have to let them go
Downsizing and restructuring a business are major challenges, but also necessary when markets change, and business conditions change with them. This can place a great burden on your employees, those leaving as well as those remaining.
Get in touchAdvisers with extensive experience and expertise
We can handle the restructuring of your business and help in planning and counselling. We advise on termination of individual work contracts and offer tailored counselling for groups or individuals seeking new opportunities elsewhere.
Our aim throughout the restructuring or downsizing will be to help those who are leaving and pursuing new careers. In addition, we offer help in development of skills and new expertise. In our counselling we focus on skills, expertise, and ambitions for a new career, and facilitate a smooth transition to a new and suitable position. Meanwhile, we also support and motivate those who remain, so they feel secure in their positions and apply their expertise in the best possible way.
