For Job Outplacement Agencies

Supporting people through transition with clarity, dignity, and momentum

Redundancy creates more than a job search problem. Outplacement clients aren’t just looking for their next role. They’re navigating loss, uncertainty, and a sudden shift in identity. They may be emotionally shaken, unsure how to position themselves, overwhelmed by options, and feel pressured to “move on” quickly. Outplacement agencies are expected to support this transition, often within fixed timeframes and limited sessions.

  • Outplacement sits at the intersection of emotion and execution.

    Agencies are asked to:

    • stabilise clients quickly
    • restore confidence
    • help clients define direction
    • support job search execution

    At the same time:

    • emotional readiness varies widely
    • coaching time is finite
    • confidence dips often return between sessions
    • progress can stall without structure

    The challenge is providing consistent, sustained support throughout the transition.

  • When clients don’t receive the right kind of support early, common patterns emerge:

    • Emotional overload delays action. Clients struggle to move forward while still processing the shock of redundancy.
    • Directionless job searching. Applications begin before clarity is established.
    • Inconsistent momentum. Progress spikes during sessions, then fades between them.
    • Extended time to placement. Uncertainty and avoidance slow re-employment.

    These outcomes are a reflection of an unsupported transition.

  • People navigating outplacement need support that helps them stabilise, decide, and move forward with confidence beyond job leads.

    In practice, that means:

    Emotional regulation during a high-impact transition. WORK-SELF Rituals and Ritual Kits help clients manage their emotions after redundancy, enabling clearer thinking before next steps.

    Structured clarity about direction and positioning. The Career Assessment helps clients understand their strengths, constraints, and realistic next options, separating emotional reaction from viable direction.

    Decision support between coaching sessions. Maya, the AI career advisor, helps clients reason through options, applications, and trade-offs when uncertainty resurfaces.

    A consistent framework for transition. The Career Transition Blueprint and 30-Day Job Clarity Sprint provide shared structure and momentum during a time-limited engagement.

    Follow-through during the job search. My Loops helps clients turn insight and coaching guidance into daily and weekly actions, reducing drift and disengagement.

    Human reassurance and accountability. Qualified career coaching and Community provide perspective and normalisation during what is often an emotionally destabilising period.

    This level of support requires a system which WORK-SELF provides.

What your clients get

■ Deep research methodology

Start with the career assessment

The Career Assessment guides them through 7 structured sections: Personal Information, Current Professional State, Identity & Work Self, Strengths & Skills, Vision & Future, Tools & Preferences, and Career Story.

We combine their answers with insights from our proprietary deep research methodology called WORK-SELF Cohort of Influence (COI), comprised of the entire published body of work of the world’s leading minds in personal and professional development like Kahneman, Sinek, Duckworth, Clear, and more. The outcome is a clear Career Profile that shows how they operate at work, where friction appears, and what deserves their focus right now.

■ COhort of Influence Intelligence

Choose the ideal career path

The client’s Career Transition Blueprint brings together their assessment results into a clear picture of how they work, what drains or energises them, and what conditions support their best performance.

From this Blueprint, WORK-SELF helps them explore relevant options such as negotiating scope, preparing for transition, and evaluating new opportunities.

Maya, our Career Advisor, supports by helping them think through trade offs, prepare conversations, and plan next steps based on their current reality and priorities.

■ Integrated Career Operating System

See progress clearly

Maya pulls data from their long-term Loops, mood check-ins, milestones, and journal entries to build simple dashboards that show they’re progressing in their overall career development longer term.

Their Career Alignment Score reveals how closely their daily actions and 30-day Sprint match who they’re becoming. WORK-SELF’s operating system ensures candidates stay on track toward the job they’re after and the career they really want.

■ Career guidance from CAreer Coach and AI ADvisor

Find the ideal role in 30 days

Maya, the AI career advisor, brings together signals from their Daily Briefs, tools, milestones, and activity to show how their focus and decisions are adding up over time.

They get tools, prompts, and to-do assignments that ensure daily progress. The system interconnects these job-finding functions so their progress continues seamlessly through their 30-day sprint. Either they get job clarity or your money back. 

■ Emotional Intelligence Feedback Loop

Grow with the community

Clients can access Maya anytime for structured decision support, preparation, and clear thinking around their career.

They can also join the Community tab to learn from others navigating career decisions, share insights, and participate in practical challenges that support clarity and momentum. This is their space to share progress, stay accountable, and learn from others facing similar choices.

Getting started is simple

WORK-SELF integrates into your outplacement programmes as a structured clarity and execution layer, supporting clients throughout transition without increasing coach workload.

Step 1: Activate your outplacement licence

Your organisation receives a pool of WORK-SELF licences that can be assigned to clients as they enter outplacement. This ensures consistent support across cohorts and programmes.

Step 2: Clients complete career assessment

Clients begin with the Career Assessment (about 30 minutes). This helps them clarify strengths, direction, and positioning early, reducing emotional overwhelm and improving focus.

Step 3: Ongoing support between coaching sessions

Clients gain access to Maya, the AI career advisor, Rituals, to manage stress and confidence dips, and My Loops, to translate guidance into daily action. This maintains momentum between sessions.

Step 4: Structured clarity during active transition

For clients needing additional structure, agencies can enrol them in the 30-Day Job Clarity Sprint. This supports faster re-orientation, clearer decisions, and stronger follow-through.

Accelerate your clients

Your clients don’t need to do everything at once. Start them with the Career Assessment to understand their career direction in under 30 minutes.
