The latest labour market statistics show that UK employment prospects are weaker than at any time since the survey began in 2004. Recruitment activity is falling and redundancies are set to increase.

PCS, with a national network of offices, is a major player in the UK Outplacement sector. Outplacement is the structured process of helping individuals who are leaving an organisation to evaluate their career opportunities, implement a job search and manage the transition to new employment. The Outplacement process provides the proven methodology, personalised support and tools specifically designed to make the job search faster and more productive.

Benefits of outplacement for individuals include:

- An objective sounding board which allows you to deal with negative emotions.

- An in-depth understanding of your personal and professional competencies.

- The definition of present and future career goals.

- Ongoing guidance, support, objectivity and motivation to carry out a structured and productive job search campaign.

- Improved self-marketing skills to operate effectively in today's highly competitive job market. This includes personal and written communication, research techniques, interviews, marketing strategies and negotiating skills.

- The benefit of a consultant's knowledge of the job market and contacts which can lead to timely employment alternatives.
