Why Outplacement?
Cost reductions, mergers, acquisitions, and shifting corporate goals can necessitate reductions in your work force. There are times when job requirements or individuals change, resulting in mismatched personnel.

One of the most difficult decisions a company has to make relates to employee termination. No one likes to tell an employee that his or her services are no longer needed.

Terminated employees suddenly find themselves without a job, feeling isolated, rejected, and lacking knowledge about their marketable skills. They are unaware of how to effectively market themselves in new environments or areas of interest.

Career Management Consultants has successfully outplaced people, both in individual and group programs, from over 100 different organizations. Through counseling, hundreds of outplaced individuals have been able to find new and satisfying jobs. Since 1979, our success rating of 97% has been upheld. Our advice produces results - quickly and economically.

"I had gone through outplacement once before. It had been a threatening and uneasy process. This was not the case working with CMC. They provide a safe environment, nurturing personalities, and a simple surrounding which made me feel safe. They earned my trust and didn't make me feel as though I was going through a process."
