Erase downsized/terminated employees' bad feelings about the company.
The last thing an HR professional wants is a former employee complaining about or bad-mouthing the company and insidiously disrupting the workforce with gossip and innuendo. CareerMakers takes people into their futures, overwhelming them with bright possibility. Bad feelings and irritating behaviors turn into "Thank you for providing me with CareerMakers."
Avoid litigation.
Those who are hell-bent on suing will sue. Those who know they could (or should), but don't really want to, will not. Their CareerMakers experience directs them into their future with hope, confidence, know-how and support. Then the idea of litigation becomes a distasteful and time-wasting option. They would rather get on with their lives than muck around in the negativity of the past.
Look good in the eyes of your manager.
Jim Strain, HR Manager for TransCore says, "When I show my manager the great feedback I get from downsized employees about their CareerMakers experience, he thinks I'm wonderful!"

Q: Who likes the termination or downsizing process?
A: No one.
One HR Manager simply waves a fistful of CareerMakers "thank yous" from former employees and says, "Call Pam or Pete. Go there. They do good things, and they will take care of you." Then she gets more "thank yous" from those who take her up on the offer!
