Layoffs are never easy. Whether it’s due to company reorganization, market shifts, or strategic decisions, letting employees go is a tough reality for any HR team or business leader. However, how you handle layoffs can have a profound effect on your company’s reputation and the morale of your remaining workforce.
In fact, research shows a clear correlation between how companies manage layoffs and their ability to retain talent, keep productivity high, and maintain employee engagement.
In other words, layoffs themselves don’t have to damage your company’s reputation—but poorly managed layoffs will.
That’s why offering outplacement services through a partner like Upword Resume can make all the difference.

Upword Resume’s outplacement services provide job search support for employees affected by layoffs, giving them the tools and confidence they need to secure new positions quickly.

Why Offering Outplacement Services Is Essential for Your Company
When you invest in your employees—even as they’re leaving your company—you send a powerful message. Offering outplacement services shows that you care about your people, even during challenging transitions. This not only helps protect your company’s reputation but also ensures that your remaining employees feel supported and secure.
Studies show that companies that provide generous severance and outplacement for exiting employees during RIFs, reorgs, or terminations see great engagement and loyalty from all their employees.
What Sets Upword Resume Apart?
Many big-name outplacement providers charge thousands of dollars per employee. Unfortunately, we often hear from those same employees that the support they received was impersonal and ineffective.
