Rationale:
Organizations that make outplacement avaliable to employees who are let go because of downsizing, mergers or terminations are viewed as benevolent both by the affected employee(s) and those who continue to work within the organization. These services also greatly reduce the likelihood of litigation, as angry employees have a chance to vent and gain some perspective, while distancing themselves from the organization and beginning to look toward their futures.
Why use CareerMakers Outplacement and what you can expect:
- Having experts to support H.R in dealing with the challenges and fears of downsizing, mergers or transitions

- In the public eye, organizations are seen as the benevolent employer by doing something meaningful to support affected workers
- Satisfaction Guaranteed – We offer 100% guaranteed services at the most competitive investment around
- We specialize in anger management – to minimize the threat of litigation based primarily on an employee's anger
- Rapid response – As a Portland based business, we are able to make quick decisions and respond to your needs
