Pre-planning

Ensure the effectiveness of the notification and career transition process

Redundancy is a sensitive issue and effective handling of the notifying session is critical. Pre-planning discussions are a critical first step in the career transition process. A pre-planning session between notifying managers and Lee Hecht Harrison to review communication and logistics will ensure effective handling of the notification process.

Pre-planning will assist managers to:

• prepare for and structure the meeting
• effectively address key issues raised during the conversation
• anticipate possible reactions
• respond appropriately to the emotions and issues raised
• clearly communicate the next steps of the career transition process

Setting a positive tone and conveying the right amount of concern and support goes a long way for both the individual and the organisation.  By understanding how to conduct sound separations with skill and sensitivity, notifying managers become more comfortable with the process, ensuring better outcomes.
