Outplacement Consulting & Layoff Execution Support
When the moment is hard, leaders shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.
Workforce transitions aren’t just operational, they’re deeply human. Many leaders tell us they feel the weight of these moments long before the day arrives. That’s why Rise offers not only outplacement for employees, but expert consulting and hands-on support for the leaders responsible for delivering difficult news.
Our layoff-execution support is designed to ensure the process is organized, compassionate, and aligned with your company’s values.
Coaching Managers for Clear, Compassionate Delivery
We prepare your leaders with the language, structure, and presence they need to communicate decisions respectfully and confidently.
Reducing Emotional Burden on HR Teams
Internal People teams often carry the heaviest load during layoffs. We help share that weight by managing logistics, scripts, timelines, and the emotional dynamics of the day.
A Neutral, Experienced Facilitator in the Room
Rise provides a trained facilitator to help guide the conversation, answer questions, and ease tension, giving both managers and employees a stabilizing point of support.
Ensuring Every Step Reflects Your Values
From communication strategy to final handoff, we help you design a process that upholds dignity, transparency, and respect, so even in tough moments, your culture stays intact.
Why It Matters
This support isn’t about outsourcing humanity, it’s about strengthening it.
Leaders feel more prepared. HR teams feel less alone. Employees feel seen and respected, even in moments of uncertainty.
The goal is simple:
Help people leave with dignity.
Help leaders feel supported through one of the hardest responsibilities they carry.
