International Multi-Geography Career Transition / Outplacement Provision – Technology Multinational

 

Background

The organisation had grown its international business significantly over recent years, and needed to consolidate its international operations across EMEA in a complex series of restructuring projects, commencing 2002.

Given its solid international capability and its ability to seamlessly support the client’s international operations, (often at extremely short notice), HDA was commissioned by the client to support its restructuring plans across Europe and the Middle East, commencing 2002, and continuing to 2010.

HDA Project

HDA has supported the client on a range of redundancy-support projects across Europe and in the Middle East in 2002 (large-scale), 2003 (large-scale), 2004 (large-scale), 2005 (large-scale), with limited country-by-country and case-by-case activity from 2006 to 2010.

During this time, HDA has provided comprehensive support comprising the following elements:

• Provision of one-to-one career consultancy programmes across the region, with local provision benchmarked against the HDA modular programme for the UK.
• Provision of all programme documentation, including country-specifics, translated for local language requirements where required.
• Provision of a branded Online Resource Centre for the client, including a comprehensive overview of the service. (This overview is e-mailed by the client’s HR team to affected employees at the time that redundancies are announced).
• Provision of employee representative support and overviews anywhere in the region, as needed.
• Provision of aggregated monthly reporting, including a summary at any time of the Dollar value of programmes utilised to date.

HDA manages all support elements for the client’s highly specialist technology, business development and support staff across the region, including communicating programme details to affected groups, managing all referrals, mobilising HDA’s consulting team across Europe and the Middle East, expediting monthly progress reports from across the region, and providing the client with a single monthly report, by country.

During its relationship with the client, HDA has sought to add significant new value at level cost.

The client’s approach to redundancy management requires that its international outplacement partner be highly responsive to a range of specific requirements at extremely short notice. At the same time, HDA provides strong pre-emptive support to the client on an ongoing basis in order to provide the best possible information provision and service quality, in spite of the client’s very short employee notification periods.

Outcomes

HDA is viewed by the client as its international outplacement partner, and has provided outplacement support to and settled large numbers of the client’s employees to date, in the UK, Germany, Sweden, Austria, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, and Israel.

Successful placements in these countries have included:

• Successful placements at all levels in the software development industry
• Successful placements at all levels, elsewhere in commerce
• Successful settlement in self-employment and business start-ups
