When employers lay off staff, they often wish to provide some initial assistance and support to them in seeking employment elsewhere. P & A offers a full range of outplacement counseling services for all levels of employees.
In outplacement counseling, P & A focuses on the importance of tailoring services to suit both the specific objectives of the client employer who is sponsoring the service, and the specific needs of the separated employee who is eligible for the service. P & A makes every effort to plan an overall approach and specific services that will be practical and productive for the employee, as well as affordable for the client employer.
