Outplacement

Outplacement has grown from a small cottage industry providing support to a very limited set of laid off executives into a global business with over $3 billion in revenues. Today, outplacement services and career transition have become key components of the overall change management strategy in the majority of businesses.

Leathers Milligan-OI Partners’ nearly two decades of providing career transition and outplacement services has taught us that at the core of a successful outplacement program lies a personal, “hi-touch” consulting service that helps employees at every level cope with the trauma of job loss while guiding them toward the realization of their full job search potential.  We have also learned that business models evolve and mature over time and that is why we have embraced and adapted Web 2.0 technologies that integrate our traditional “hi-touch,” one-on-one outplacement services with OI Solutions^SM our proprietary web-based tools that enable individuals to initiate and drive their own job search process anytime, anywhere.  Leathers Milligan-OI Partners outplacement  and career transition programs can combine high value, face-to-face career consultation and local market connections with the industry’s leading integrated web based tools to help candidates manage and control every component of their job search journey and give them a real competitive advantage in today’s crowded job search market.

Leathers Milligan-OI Partners career transition and outplacement programs typically range from 3 months for managers to a year or more for the more senior executives. Or, you can select from a menu of services to create a Co-Managed™ program that emphasizes the services that best match your budget with the needs of your employees.

In addition to our Web 2.0   OI Solutions^SM, most outplacement programs also include proprietary networking events, resume preparation, personal network development, interview and negotiation skills, scheduled use of private offices, social networking training, administrative support and much more.
