Corporate Workshops for Downsizing Companies

When you announce your reduction in force, you want to immediately let it be known that your company will be providing outplacement assistance. Mir Garvy assists employees affected by downsizing or outsourcing—and has done so for Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 companies, as well as for mid-sized and small start-up companies positioning themselves for private equity placements, executive team changes, and mergers and acquisitions.

Downsizing or Outsourcing?

It takes a special kind of speaker to navigate the emotional climate of a room full of professionals who’ve recently learned they are being made redundant. As a speaker, Mir has been called “generous,” “articulate,” and “extremely knowledgeable.” She helps alleviate worry and frustration through the act of preparing for the job search. Questions are answered, fears are relieved, and next steps are outlined. Help your workers survive—and even thrive—during this transition, foster good will, and protect your brand and reputation, both within your organization and in your community, by offering one of the following workshops.

The ROI on Corporate Workshops

According to Entrepreneur.com, investing in outplacement services to support your employees who’re affected by a reduction in force makes sense on a number of levels. By investing in your impacted employees’ career transition, you are placing them on confident paths to new careers, and helping them network smarter, navigate today’s online job search, and feel more prepared for interviews. Not only that, you’re also minimizing your company’s exposure to costly legal action, ongoing unemployment fees, and potentially damaging employee reviews that will hurt your brand. The ROI is real for the companies that have hired Mir in the past.

What companies say about our outplacement services

Mir provided an excellent resume workshop for GSK US Finance employees. She was able to provide us with tools we could use to ensure our resumes successfully make it through applicant tracking systems when seeking external job opportunities while also standing out to human resources staff and hiring managers. Mir also provided invaluable insights on the current job market and hiring practice. She worked individually with each employee during and after the workshop as well. The workshop was extremely helpful for our team as we are in the midst of a reorganization where employees will be losing their jobs at GSK. I personally found her insights helpful, not only in writing my resume, but also in preparing for job interviews.

A shout out to Mir for the excellent presentation on LinkedIn she provided for the Women’s Networking Group, a Colleague Resource Group of Zoetis. Almost 100 field sales colleagues attended the presentation as we learned how to make the most of LinkedIn including how to write a profile, how to establish our LinkedIn brand, and why it is important to be an active participant. I highly recommend Mir as a knowledgeable and engaged speaker who will take the time to research your group in order to provide the most pertinent information.

The response was overwhelming when Mir spoke with our Back to Business group about addressing the gap in our resumes. She was generous with her time and knowledgeable as she educated and entertained us with relevant stories, suggestions, and answers. Instead of a planned presentation, Mir was very personable and used materials she prepared specifically for our group to highlight relevant scenarios, making the workshop interactive with plenty of time for specific questions. Her speaking ability is spot-on and attendees walked away thrilled and with a plan. We will definitely invite her back.

Mir Garvy did a fantastic job as an invited speaker for our NCBiotech Jobs Network, a monthly forum we sponsor to provide content and networking opportunities for transitioning and out-of-work people in the life sciences. Mir provided an informative and useful presentation on how to use LinkedIn effectively. After her excellent presentation she engaged the audience with an equally helpful Q&A session and left them enthused to take actionable steps for improving their online presence. If you need an engaging and effective speaker on the topic of LinkedIn, I highly recommend Mir.

We hosted Mir at a recent NCBiotech Jobs Network event attended by over 140 life sciences professionals in transition. She was such a pleasure to work with and is very professional. Mir provided an absolutely spot-on presentation about LinkedIn! Her presentation was perfect—professional, enjoyable, informative, with just a bit of humor. Plus, the real-life examples that she provided were very helpful. I was very impressed with Mir’s presentation and I heard many comments from attendees saying that they really learned a lot and felt motivated to work on their LinkedIn profiles. I wholeheartedly recommend Mir!
