Strategic Outplacement & Redundancy Support Services
A Compassionate Approach to Workforce Transitions
In today’s challenging business environment, organisations frequently face difficult workforce restructuring decisions.
Coach 1st offers high-quality outplacement support during these critical transitions.
With experience spanning both corporate and public sectors, I bring a unique perspective and deep understanding of the challenges faced by organisations when difficult staffing decisions must be made.
The Value Proposition
When organisations face the difficult task of workforce reduction, how departing colleagues are supported speaks volumes about corporate values and culture.
Our bespoke outplacement programme doesn’t merely provide a service—it creates a compassionate bridge to new opportunities while preserving organisational reputation, morale, and stakeholder relationships.
With a deep understanding of today’s complex employment landscapes and extensive experience guiding professionals through career transitions, we deliver personalised support that honours both your organisation’s responsibilities and the dignity of those affected by restructuring decisions.
A Philanthropic Approach to Pricing
When I qualified in coaching, I made a commitment to deliver high-quality coaching to the broadest possible audience.
I’ve embraced a more philanthropic approach to pricing—using my experience and coaching qualifications for the benefit of others without compromising on quality.
Each person experiencing redundancy will be offered a 12-week outplacement programme, combining 1:1 coaching, workshops, and access to our employability digital content, with 24/7 access offered for 6 months.
