OUTPLACEMENT SUPPORT 

Bloom offers personalised support and guidance for employees who have recently been made redundant and/or who need assistance in making a career transition. ​ Individuals faced with the prospect of finding a new job may be feeling a mixture of emotions: fear, trepidation, anger, stress, sadness, or possibly excitement and enthusiasm. A change in employment brings about different reactions from different people and everyone’s journey is unique.

​

Having experienced a redundancy myself I am acutely aware of the spectrum of emotions that people can experience and one thing I know for sure is that support is crucial during the career transition period.  I offer employees compassionate, sincere, professional support to help them navigate through their career transition and to explore, identify and define what they want for their future.



During my outplacement programs I facilitate the process of self-exploration and discovery to determine people's career preferences and work with them to understand their unique circumstances, thereby tailoring programs according to their individual needs. 

 

I focus on helping individuals explore the following:

​

Emotional Support / Mindset Management/ Identifying Values, Passions and Purpose

 

• Working through the individual’s emotional reaction to news, how to communicate to friends and family

• Assessing the current situation, what are the core priorities right now? e.g financial, emotional etc

• Identifying what concerns and fears about the future exist (real or perceived), and ways to overcome them

• Identifying limiting beliefs and potential barriers to success

• Exploring Core Values & Beliefs to work out what’s most important and what drives you 

• Clarifying personal preferences, wants vs "shoulds", situation assessment (financial, emotional etc)

                       

Building Confidence & Defining Goals       

     

• Skills, knowledge and strengths inventory – what do you do well and how do you do it differently to others? What makes you unique?

• Promoting your unique selling points/developing a personal brand

• Articulating SMART goals for the future - i.e where do I want to be and what needs to happen in order for me to get there?

 

Developing Job Search Skills

 

• S.T.A.R Model

• Interview skills coaching

• Utilising recruitment agencies

• Understanding and responding to Key Selection Criteria
