Context
The client is an European industrial company, carrying out manufacturing activities in Romania. Following a strategic plan the factory from Romania was closed down.
The entire staff of the factory entered the collective dismissal process.
BPI group Romania provided career transition and outplacement services for 80 people.
Services
The consultant tailored the services to the industry specificity, as well as the gradual closing calendar for the factory.
Our Client’s main concern was the provision of a career transition service in a well known difficult region of Romania, with with massive deindustrialization and lack of career choices.
BPI group Romania carried out on-site individual and group activities, ensuring maximum of proximity and reactivity for the encountered situations:
- Individual counseling, including career change counselling
- Training sessions and workshops
- Special meetings between potential employers and candidates
- Job search for finding new jobs on the local labour market, suited for the competence profiles of the people included in the outplacement process.
Result
The project ensured professional contractual solutions to more than 60% of the employees.
The professional conversion can increase the chances of re-employment, considering the massive deindustrialization in the area.
Conclusions
In the areas of Romania affected by poverty, the support for training, professional conversion and relocation to other labor markets can enhance the chances of finding a new job for laid-off employees.
