Find out how we can help you.
Collective redundancy
In the event of a company closure or layoff of more than 10 employees, the Act respecting labour standards requires the employer to first notify the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité. The latter can then invite the employer to take part in setting up an outplacement committee. The creation of this committee is mandatory when the company has more than 50 employees.
Reclassification assistance committee
Our human resources management consulting firm will help you set up your professional reclassification assistance committee. Made up of employers and workers, this committee will make it easier for your dismissed employees to re-enter the job market.
In addition, this reclassification committee will enable you to:
- Assess the needs of your laid-off workers;
- Working together to find and implement solutions to the problems posed by mass redundancies;
- Offer information, support and job search services to your laid-off employees;
- Facilitating the redeployment of laid-off workers.
As part of the creation of this committee, employees who so wish will be able to attend a wide range of workshops and information sessions covering topics such as..:
- Job search;
- Mourning the loss of a job;
- Business start-ups;
- Financial planning;
- Back to school;
- Etc.
Our results over the past few years have shown an outplacement rate of around 90% after a layoff or dismissal.
Career guidance and reorientation
Our career guidance service supports people who have been made redundant in their career path, helping them to validate their choice or identify new avenues. This funnel-shaped approach uses a variety of data, including..:
- Self-information;
- Interests, skills and values;
- Life situation;
- Labour market information;
- Investment rate;
- Salary;
- Training, costs and time required.
We can help you develop an orientation process that will enable your laid-off employees to make an informed career choice and establish a concrete action plan that will make it easier for them to achieve their goals.
