Managing change situations responsibly

Is your organisation facing a restructuring situation? Whatever the circumstances, what matters most is how you take care of your people.

Redundancy processes are moments when trust and employer reputation are either built or damaged. Our outplacement and career transition services ensure that restructuring is handled responsibly and in line with Finnish statutory requirements, while providing training and career coaching for those leaving the organisation.

We can support you with a single case or manage the entire process keeping your organisation’s goals and values always at the centre.

How we support you

Redundancy situations are always more than an administrative process. They are an opportunity to lead by example and show genuine care for people, even when the direction changes. Whatever your situation, we have the right solution.

  • Personalised coaching towards a new path. Whether it’s a job search, retraining, a career change, entrepreneurship, or retirement – we offer individual support and clarity for each situation.
  • Building confidence and competence. We help people reconnect with their strengths and build confidence in their future – one step at a time.
  • Creating pathways forward. We provide concrete routes to new employment through statutory transition security training, employment-focused training, and our extensive job network in Finland.

  • Ensuring statutory compliance. We manage transition security in accordance with Finnish legislation reliably and with care.
  • Freeing up time for core business. Let an experienced partner handle the redundancy process, so your team can focus on what matters most.
  • Protecting your employer brand. When change is managed responsibly and smoothly, it leaves a positive impression – including on those who leave.

  • Proactive planning and preparation. We work with you to prepare all actions related to the change process and ensure it progresses in a controlled and structured way.
  • Practical tools and hands-on support. HR plays a critical role in redundancy situations – and it can be a demanding one. We provide the support needed to manage the process responsibly and smoothly.
  • Guiding the organisation towards a new balance. We help your organisation move step by step towards a functioning, motivated, and productive workplace after the change.

  • We support the entire process from start to finish in a controlled, proactive, and humane way.
  • We build a clear plan, support communications, and evaluate impact, taking into account both those leaving and those staying.
  • We help maintain employee engagement and keep motivation high throughout the process.

Frequently asked questions about outplacement and redundancy support

Finnish transition security legislation requires employers to provide statutory transition security when a company regularly employs at least 30 people, the employee has been continuously employed for at least five years, and dismissals are due to production-related and financial reasons. Employees aged 55 or over who have been in continuous employment for at least five years are entitled to extended transition security. Transition security services can also be provided in situations where there is no statutory obligation, for example in smaller organisations or individual cases. We tailor our services to meet the needs and values of each organisation, from individual cases to larger groups.

Costs depend on factors such as the number of participants, the scope of the service, and the delivery model. Pricing reflects what your organisation actually needs. We always offer a tailored package with transparent pricing. Get in touch to discuss your needs.

Yes. We deliver outplacement and redundancy support for both individual cases and large-scale restructuring needs – including processes involving tens or even hundreds of people. Our service scales to the situation: smaller cases focus on individual coaching, while larger programmes emphasise structured planning, communication support, and group-based models.
