In today’s uncertain times, organizations are faced with difficult talent decisions. Whether you’re downsizing through a layoff or amid a reorganization, the act of letting talent go is never easy. Often, the decisions to offer outplacement services to an affected employee is overlooked or considered unaffordable — until now.

What sets Mercer apart from other providers is our ability to provide a full-service outplacement solution that utilizes experienced virtual career coaching and career services coupled with award-winning technology. We pass along savings from efficiencies in technology without compromising quality of service. In fact, our solution is ½ to ⅓ the cost of traditional outplacement solutions.

Mercer’s 100% virtual, on-demand approach for outplacement services helps transitioning employees and displaced employees land a new job nearly 2.5X faster than the national average1 . We are redefining outplacement design, delivery, and results to provide a service that meets the expectations of employers as well as the needs of all levels of employees. Outplacement is a smart investment because it:

• increases the likelihood of rehiring once laid off employees
• protects your company’s brand and reputation following a reduction in force (RIF)
• mitigates the risk of litigation
• has cost savings implications related to severance

But the #1 reason is because “it is the right thing to do” to support an exiting employee.
