Outplacement is a service that many companies buy once and never think about again. Mainly, this is because outplacement is only used on an event-driven basis. It’s there when you need it. And when you don't, you rarely think about it. 

Layoffs are one the most stressful things HR has to do on a regular basis. Whether it’s because of financial hardship, a need for new talent, or was triggered by a bad hire or poor fit, layoffs are no fun for anyone involved.

A pay freeze is a great tactic for organizations looking to improve their bottom line. It is a policy that your human resources team will create that states no employees will receive a salary increase during the freeze.

Everything is going great in your talent acquisition department. Your plugging along, hiring awesome talent and being a recruiting rockstar. Then bam! Your organization institutes a hiring freeze. A million things are racing through your mind: do I need to send out a job on hold letter? What does this mean for my team? Will we still keep working during this time?

Hiring freezes. They aren’t particularly fun. At many organizations, they are the catalyst for upcoming change. Whether that be positive (financial upturn) or negative (impending layoffs).
