Origin has managed the permanent recruitment for this company for a number of years and the team have built a strong reputation for high quality and the ability to devise new service offerings as needs arise.

SInce the redeployment programme began, the company has realised substantial cost savings!

Here's how this was achieved:

the challenge 

• A rising number of permanent employees were put ‘at risk’ due to market conditions and nearshoring and offshoring exercises
• There was no formal process in place to assist an employee in finding a new role once they were put at risk
• There was no tracking or monitoring of redeployment activity or evidence of working on an employees behalf

the solution 

• Origin’s on-site team managed redeployment activity, ensuring a seamless transition for an employee after they had been advised that their role was at risk
• We evaluated and proposed a structured process for redeployment to ensure a consistent and consolidated approach.
• Employee was given a designated Origin Recruiter who facilitated and obtained feedback for all job applications across the company saving the need to deal with several different Recruiters
• Face to face meeting with employee to identify transferable skills, areas of interest and to ensure thorough understanding of the process
• Creation of vacancy list (regularly updated and distributed) for employees who no longer had access to the internal website.
• Origin worked closely with hiring managers to help them fully understand the benefit of considering those in the Redeployment Programme and ensure that redeployees were fully considered for new vacancies.
• Creation of Redeployment FAQs to help ‘at risk’ employees understand the internal recruitment process
• Creation of standard management information to track redeployed numbers across different divisions and to report success stories
• Creation of an Internal Interview Guide to help employees perform well in internal interviews

key benefits

• Origin have managed in excess of 500 employees through the process since July 2008
• Introduction of a consistent and fair process has reduced the risk of potential grievances being raised
• Significant cost savings have been achieved through reduced recruitment fees and severance payment savings, as a result of the success of the redeployment programme
• Numerous success stories of ‘at risk’ employees finding new roles within the company.
