Retrenchment Outreach Programmes

Based on the current economic climate and the outbreak of COVID-19, companies have been forced to downscale their workforce. This has led to increase retrenchments and job losses. This process impacts an individual’s life and creates enormous amounts of stress and anxiety for them and their loved ones.

It is important for companies to create a readiness for change outreach programme and follow all the necessary guidelines in terms of the Labour Relations Act when retrenching a staff member.

The Enigma team are able to work with individuals, coaching them through the changes that they may be going through and helping them turn the challenges they may be experiencing into opportunities.

Individuals can be guided in terms of skills development, job search, developing networking skills, rebranding themselves and focusing on entrepreneurship programmes.

Individuals or groups can be coached through this challenging time and equipped with the necessary coping strategies in order to manage change, uncertainty and emotional wellbeing.

Further, a financial coach that is part of the Enigma team can also assist an individual with developing a financial strategy to manage their packages e.g. severance or retrenchment, etc.

Despite the challenging time, in the spirit of good faith, organisations can support staff who are retrenched by providing them with advice and support, managing the psychological and financial impact of change.
