Most outplacement support focuses on the tools of job searching while ignoring the person who has to use them. Paula Donnan Advisory takes a different approach: one that starts with strengths, ends with clarity, and includes follow-up contact for up to three months after the formal programme ends. Because the transition does not finish when the contract does.

Here is something that does not get talked about enough. Outplacement is not just about the people leaving. It is a direct communication to everyone who remains. When your team watches colleagues being made redundant, they are asking themselves a question: if that were me, would this organisation treat me with respect? The answer they arrive at shapes their engagement, their trust in leadership and their own commitment to the business going forward.
