Why Outplacement Makes Sense
Career change and job loss ranks among the top ten most stressful life events a person can experience. It now takes nearly five months for the average worker to find a new job. During this stressful time, the job-seeker may experience depression, financial difficulties, family problems and health issues. Companies too are at risk during employee transition. Employee morale may suffer, unemployment insurance rates may rise, and instances of workplace violence increase.
We believe that an effective and affordable career transition program is beneficial to the company as well as to the employee in transition. Helping people get back to work fast is good business! When laid-off employees get back to work sooner, you reduce your unemployment insurance rate, decrease discrimination and wrongful termination claims, curb workplace theft and violence, and improve productivity and morale among your remaining employees. Parachute is dedicated to making every transition as quick and easy as possible using our high-touch, high-tech support system for career and life clients.
