The Sunshine Coast's fast-growing economy, led by health, construction and tourism, brings both opportunity and organisational change. Paul works with Sunshine Coast organisations of every size, from a single executive exit to large-scale restructures.

With a background in both executive recruitment and career transition, Paul understands the employer and candidate perspectives, so programs are practical, discreet and focused on outcomes.

Why Sunshine Coast organisations use outplacement

Duty of care

Show affected employees genuine, practical support at one of the most stressful moments of their working life.

Reduce risk on the day

A VUCA consultant on site during notifications reduces the risks that come with emotional situations, such as stress, uncertainty and anger.

Protect your reputation

Departing employees who feel supported are far more likely to speak well of your organisation.

Support those who stay

Remaining teams see colleagues treated with respect, helping to maintain trust, morale and productivity.

Faster return to work

Structured, tailored programs help people move efficiently into their next role or the next phase of their career.

Questions

Outplacement FAQs

What is outplacement?

Outplacement is employer-funded support for employees whose roles have been made redundant. It typically includes career coaching, resume and LinkedIn support, interview preparation and job-search strategy, helping people move into their next role sooner and with more confidence.

Do you provide outplacement services on the Sunshine Coast?

Yes. Paul and the VUCA team support organisations on the Sunshine Coast and across Queensland, with on-site support and programs delivered locally, regionally and nationally.

How long does an outplacement program run?

It depends on the program level. VUCA Basic programs are shorter, Standard programs are mid-term, and Premium / Platinum programs are long-term and suited to managers, senior managers and executives. Longer tenure or personal and technical barriers may also call for a longer program.

Can you be on site when we notify employees?

Yes. On-site support during redundancy notifications helps reduce risk, keeps key messages on track and acts as a buffer between an individual hearing the news and their interaction with others. Employees also meet the consultant who will support their program.

What does outplacement cost?

Every program is tailored, so cost depends on the program level, the number of people involved and whether workshops or on-site support are included. Get in touch with Paul for a confidential proposal.

Do you support every level of employee?

Yes. Programs are tailored for every level, from administrative and blue collar employees through to technical staff, team leaders, managers and executives.
