How do you get a reduction without loss

But if you are versed in this matter before the reduction, it is quite possible that you will be able to find a common language with theHR department and you will be able to separate in an amicable way. As a rule, with knowledgeable staff will try to conduct a "proper reduction." Just about it and our stuff.

Step 1. Order Reduction

When and how should report the news

In practice, the news of the reduction is seldom entirely unexpected. As a general rule, that the affairs of the firm "not so hot", you can guess on different grounds. For example, management cut back on a few hours time, or reduced one meal disappears from your social package.

By law, before starting to staff reductions, the employer must make a feasibility study and to coordinate it with the union, and if this is not - agreed to give trade union representatives from the collective. Then the planning department of the new staffing, and those who have decided to reduce, give the order "by hand." And according to the law see such an order you have 2 months before the date of the reduction.

But this - in theory, but in practice, the employer has a bunch of legal "loopholes." For example, if a reduction reported two days before the dismissal, company owner can substantiate a violation of the fact that the actual amount of work there is no lack of funds, but still give the court a certificate from the tax and accounting that company at a loss. It turns out that he was acting in your best interests and care about that you do not spend money on travel and meals, and always used with advantage - looking for a new job and execute manual employment center.

Also in the articles of the labor law have items that management must offer you alternative work for other vacancies, but in reality, if we reduce, then these options simply do not have. As a result, you are fired according to claim 1 of Part 1, Art. 40 KZNaoT Ukraine, not legally, this is called a reduction, but "due to changes in the organization of production and labor."

Reduce employee without his signature under the order of the theory can not. But, for example, if you do not agree - the employment contract still canceled because decreasing your regular unit, that is, in any case, you lose jobs.

Who has a better chance of not "get under the knife cuts"

In fact, the law introduces a special category of people who can not be fired right now, for example, pregnant women or persons who are on sick leave or on vacation; and a list of people who should be given a preferential right to remain at work in the event of redundancies. The first is more valuable specialists, which is hard to find and they bring big profits company. Further there are people with special services to his country (Heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes of Socialist Labor, Heroes of Ukraine, full holders of the Order of Labor Glory, etc...), The citizens, Category 1-4 victims of the Chernobyl disaster, military service veterans - on the the work for which they have been enrolled for the first time after being released from military service.

The most frequent violations of the employers at this stage:

 On the reduction of reported two days before the dismissal.

 You will learn that you have cut immediately after vacation or sick.

 Prune without notice and signed the order of.

Step 2: Documentation

the correct wording

From what is written in your work, are directly dependent on the payment of money. Therefore, we consider all three options:

Voluntary redundancy (Art. 38 of the Labor Code of Ukraine). You will receive a "bare bet" on the results of last month. Further, the employment center in the registration status of the unemployed will be able to get the allotted dole, but less than "reduction" - minus 90 days.

Dismissal due to changes in the organization of production and labor - "reduction" (Clause 1, Article 40 of the Labor Code.). You get settlement money during the last month, plus severance pay in the amount of monthly salary. When registering as unemployed you can receive benefits only after 30 days after the reduction (almost employer paid you this a month in advance).

Firing by agreement (p.1 Art. 36 CLL Ukraine). If you have an employment contract, given the amount and payment of compensation conditions for job loss - the money the employer will transfer to you on a monthly basis (usually, this applies to rare specialists who are leaders plan to return to the States, where firms business "will go to the mountain"). If an oral agreement between the parties (or in writing, but without spetsuslovy), you get the settlement money last month and lose the severance pay. But when you make a status of the unemployed can receive benefits in the first month after registration.

The most frequent violations of the employers at this stage

The most "popular" is an option when you are misleading, in a simple way - cheat. That is to say, it does not matter what is written in the labor force, it is all the same - cut. If you feel that you zapudrivayut brains can get free legal advice in the Employment Center.

Step 3. Withdrawal

If you quit "due to changes in production and labor organization" - according to claim 1 of Art. 40 Labor Code of Ukraine, you are supposed to severance pay. When calculating the severance pay amount is taken during the last 2 months, are taken into account the amount of: basic salary, bonuses and allowances (for overtime work and night work, or doing high volumes of work, etc...), Production Premium, and reward the results of a year's work and length of service.

At the same time there are a number of charges that are not included in the calculation of average monthly earnings, the long list of which is specified in the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers №100 from 08.02.1995g. In particular, to not include one-time payments, daily allowances, compensation for lunches, the salary for part-time (except when it was registered in the average monthly earnings provided by law), and so on.

Severance pay, as well as all amounts due to the employee the amount of the enterprise, the employer must pay the employee the day of dismissal and to give documents: employment record, certificate of salary. If the company delayed the payment of money, then it will have to pay an additional employee his average earnings for the entire period of delay until actual payment.

The most frequent violations of the employers at this stage

 You have received settlement and severance pay, but the amount was far less than expected.

 You do not work, but the settlement money and severance pay is not received.

 You got the money, but the documents have not yet given.

the amount of severance pay will help you calculate the experts of regional employment center for a free appointment with a lawyer or accountant must take documents: salary, bonuses, holidays and together. And all the excuses and delays in the issuance of documents and the sums laid react unequivocally: "I need help on how that money is detained or that the documents are still in the design." His perseverance you show that you are not willing to wait without compensation. As a result, the annoying visitor will try to get rid of quickly.

How many who put money

Unemployment benefit is supposed to only get the official status of unemployed. The size and terms of payment depend on factors such as the presence and duration of insurance, salary, reasons for dismissal, period of unemployment. Depending on this conditional unemployed can be divided into categories.

"A" Category - insured persons who during the 12 months prior to the date of loss of job worked at least 26 calendar weeks (hereinafter - a / d) and lost their jobs through no fault of their reasons: due to the reduction in the number of staff or as a result of the elimination of enterprise. This category includes those who quit on their own, but for a good reason:

 translation husband or wife to work in another locality;

 inability to stay in the area for health reasons (this must be confirmed by relevant certificates);

 care of the child until the age of 6 and 14 years of age or for a disabled child;

 caring for a disabled child under 18 years old, disabled of Group I and for retirees who on medical conclusion requires constant care;

 other valid reason, provided the legislation of Ukraine.

Such people, the unemployment benefit set as a percentage of the size of their average wage (income), taking into account of insurance:

 up to two years - 50%;

 from two to six years - 55%;

 from six to ten years - 60%;

 more than ten years - 70%.

Wherein:

 first 90 k / d pay 100% benefits;

 over the next 90K / A - 80%;

 etc. - 70%.

These people are entitled to receive unemployment benefits for 360 k / d for two years from the date of the unemployed status. can not exceed 720 k / d duration of unemployment benefits for those approaching retirement age (two years before the right to a pension). In this case, if a person was fired according to claim. 1, Art. 40 of the Labor Code, the beginning of unemployment benefits is deferred until the expiry of the issuance of severance pay.

Category "B" - the insured, who for years until they became unemployed, worked for at least 26 k / d and resigned at his own request without good reason. Benefit they are assigned in the same way as in the previous case, but the payment is reduced by 90 to / d. That is the first 90 days they pay nothing. On the 91st day, they begin to receive benefits - 80% of the specified size.

Note that the size of the grant can not exceed the average salary by economic activities in the relevant field for the previous month. For example, in August 2008, the average salary in the Kiev region, according to State Statistics Committee, amounted to 1925 UAH. So, all the region's jobless rate may not exceed this amount. As for the size of the minimum benefit, for the first two categories, it is 500 USD.

Category "B" - the insured who have worked for a year before the assignment status of the unemployed at least 26 calendar weeks, as well as those who wish to resume work after a long break (over six months). They can only rely on the minimum unemployment benefit. For those insured persons it is 420 USD.

The period of payment of unemployment benefits in this case can not exceed 360 calendar days for two years.

Citizens who are seeking employment for the first time (and it is uninsured), also pay for unemployment benefits in the minimum amount - 420 UAH. But no longer than 180 calendar days.

Category "D" - the insured, retired from the last job "under", for example, for drunkenness or violation of labor discipline. They are assigned the minimum allowance - 420 UAH. And it can get a 91-days from the date of assignment of unemployed status.

reducing alternative

In each firm, which felt the impact of the crisis, they developed their own ways of "fighting for survival". For example, large employers transfer of specialists from the state in the contract work system. That is, a person hired for a certain amount of work, but do not provide a workplace and social package. Other leaders are also trying to retain staff. To do this, in the course are long-term and unpaid leave, shorter working hours and as a result - a reduction of wages.

Forced leave without pay

According to the Law of Ukraine "On leave" any employee may be granted leave without pay for no more than 15 calendar days for the whole year (except for some categories). At the same time, if you are going on vacation for more days, you have to choose - or to accept or resign from the company.

It is one thing when an employee agrees to go on vacation at his own expense, and another thing, when this it compels the company's management. The new edition of the Law "On leave" Ukraine seized the position that in the event of downtime the company owner can send you on vacation at his own expense, without your consent, but in the Labor Code is no different. Labor Code regulations take precedence over the law "On leave". So send employees on leave without pay may head. It turns out that the choice you have is small - or lose their job, or to agree to the new terms.

For employee long sitting on vacation at his own expense, in principle, is not profitable, because this period is not counted in the insurance period, equivalent to dismissal and no guarantee that you will restore in the same place, no one will. Plus, this is also a financial issue - you do not get any wages or holiday pay, or social benefits as unemployed.

decrease in salary, reduction of working hours

With regard to reducing the salary, the employer can actually initiate such action. To ensure that this was legal, reduced the amount of work, then the working day, and as a result - the amount of salary.

According to Art. 103 of the Labor Code of Ukraine, the changes in wages, benefits, work regime, establishing and abolishing part-time, etc. the employer must notify you in writing not later than two months. But, in practice, you can put before the fact, perhaps even a choice - work or reduction. In the case if the employee does not agree to continue to work on new conditions, the labor contract is terminated in accordance with paragraph 6 of Article 36 of the Labor Code of Ukraine.

According to statistics, it turns out that about a third of workers were laid off on their own, without severance pay and were able to get state aid for unemployment is based on 90 days less than the other unemployed. That is hardly used their legal rights. Therefore, in any case, before signing any legal documents you need to consult with a specialist.

Where to go:

 The union at your enterprise.

 The union of specialization or field of activity (for example, railway workers, journalists).

 The Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine

 The spatial representation of Trade Unions of Ukraine on the regions.

quick career in crisis

In eight years, he delivered newspapers, and at sixteen went to the front of the ambulance driver. When he was 28, the Great Depression ... and he became famous all over America, made a fortune and became, after a while, the founder of the whole kinoimperii.

The creator of Mickey Mouse never found support among professionals, it has been an innovator in technology and in business, always put at stake all that he had, at first going bankrupt regularly. Walt Disney has made a brilliant career during the global economic crisis of the 30s. Then Roosevelt became a great president, and an unknown historian James Traslou wrote his immortal "American dream", which became a symbol of the new era and to determine the course of development of a new world for at least 80 years ahead.

The crisis - a stellar chance to express themselves to those who considered themselves to be undervalued. And not only for them. On what to focus to make a career leap in adverse market conditions?

Less shy, plus utility

According to research by Interbrand and Business Week, reputation - an asset worth up to 70% of the market capitalization of the company. And not only the market giant, but the "small business" named after himself. Therefore, a big name - one of the keys to the success of the manager during the crisis. Make yourself it can be getting rid of the defect called "modesty." "The main negative feature of this modest behavior is ill-founded confidence that professional success visible in the market without any additional effort," - says Andrey Kardash, head of the company Ward Howell in Ukraine.

His recipe is simple - off a silence and isolation, improve PR-activity, make friends with reporters, talked about their successes. However, this rule is triggered mainly for tops, as rumors spread through the media, and the achievements in the publications are unlikely to write a line manager, if not one "but" - the active and resolute opposition to the failure. A successful illustration - Vitaly Vantsev example, co-owner of Moscow's Vnukovo airport, which recently led the crisis management headquarters on the situation airline Air Union.

Recall that EyrYunion, whose shareholders are the Abramovich brothers, is on the verge of bankruptcy, and now on the basis of its plan to create a new all-Russian Airlines. A new Chair of the Board of the holding, as it became known, should take all the same Vitaly Vantsev. If not collapse Abramovich hyped in the media, the private shareholder of Vnukovo would never have become a top manager of the largest aviation holding.

Also coming time symbol Business elect "utility". In the context of personnel shortage the owners looked at the quality of the work through your fingers. Errors in the strategy, the absence of overt leadership qualities of managers and high self-esteem were offset by relatively cheap and readily available money, over-fulfillment of sales plans, the extreme increase in market capitalization and total euphoria. The company Ward Howell pay attention to the fact that time passes empty words, and if at the moment of top management indiscriminate reduction is not observed, the trend could turn around in the opposite direction in the spring. Especially after the company has approved a revised budget for 2009 and will have to really work, ie. E. All to do with even greater benefit.

+ The stiffness of lateral thinking

Having decided to tame the crisis, we must remember that he favors tough for people with an active lifestyle, enterprising and flexible, which could renounce stereotyped thinking.

Many employers today are interested in attracting such tough managers. It is this quality will effectively run the company in the conditions of limited budgets, hostile competitive environment, limited access to sources of finance and falling consumer demand, in other words, in terms of aggression and a general atmosphere of mistrust in the market.

The main thing that this rigidity had no destructive consequences for the company.

The criteria for success in times of crisis

Often in times of crisis with success for the manager is not the bringing of fabulous profits and elementary hold company afloat. "I think that the person who sets the task to make a career in the crisis period, it has never fail, because they benefit from the crisis can only be the one who already has a name - Oksana continues Volodymyr Horilyi, director of ITT Consulting. It is about generated identification sufficiently clear knowledge and understanding of the situation, the name of which means a lot to her colleagues and subordinates. " In memory still fresh memory of the business feat John Thain - the general director of investment bank Merrill Lynch, in September, saved his bank from collapse, and shareholders from ruin.

Thain failed within record time (two days) to make a deal on the sale of the company for $ 50 billion. Bank of America, which is in a more stable position than any of the US investment bank. Such a move has allowed not only to prevent the collapse of the business, but also to keep a substantial part of its cost. Negotiating a deal, John Thain has never raised the issue of his future career. Such devotion to the interests of shareholders on an equal basis with the professionalism and willingness to take risks, has helped to create an aura around Thane "holiness" and recognition.

Coincidence

In addition to professionalism, decisive action, innovation and reputation claimed there is a component, without which all the dreams "to seize the tail of the crisis" and will remain dreams. It's fate, luck, coincidence - as someone like that. In short, you need to be in the right place at the right time.

Such stories are not uncommon today. "For all those businesses that started before 1998, but now grown into large companies and there are examples of those companies run by very competent and talented managers. They managed to hold their company through troubled times ", - says Yulia Pliev, CEO of Apple Consulting. One of the best examples - experience of Talan Communications. She began her work was in October 1998, when the crisis was in full swing. As it turned out, extremely well: big budgets from traditional media channels have been removed, but to sell the goods, especially to local producers, it was necessary, and a large part of advertising budgets passed in promotions in retail outlets.

"In those years, we have held promotions at Interbrew (Taller and" Chernigov "), of UMC and the Pepsi, which had the local production and the goods have to be sold in any case", - says Yvette Delicate, creator of Talan Group. Already in 2001 Talan came out on an international level by joining the worldwide Proximity network. In the midst of the "orange" revolution Talan Agency has allocated field and trade marketing Clever Force, a year later - PR-agency Pleon Talan, turned into a group of companies with more than 100 employees (in 1998 there were six).

Thus, those who want to jump not only to his colleagues on the shop floor, but also to outwit the crisis itself, using it as the impetus for a dizzying success, we must understand that the road back will be gone. Risked will gain fame and money or lose everything. "The crisis is like a magnifying glass, through which the wrong decisions will seem even wrong, and the reaction to them is even more acute, and the right decisions will seem incredibly correct and glory will be louder and more", - says Natalya Tyrke, HR-director of the company Foyil Securities.

Anti-crisis marketing: how to beat the competition

Came the truly frightening times for marketing managers. How to respond? What is the optimal strategy? There are a few rules of survival in times of crisis.

Do not panic

Most marketers believe that in the period of crisis, consumers sharply cut spending. In fact, consumer spending is rare indeed fall - they just grow more slowly, not in the inflation rate.

Cut the right costs

To the right are the administrative costs and even decline in production. In any case it is impossible to start saving on the quality of the product or its promotion.

Reduction in advertising revenue will inevitably reduce your costs

This is the easiest and fastest way to reduce costs, but the payback is imminent. Studies have shown that firms that reduce advertising costs in the recession period is generally experiencing 20-30% decline in sales and earnings over the next two years.

Reduction in advertising expenditure causes long-term harm

According to the research, advertising has a long-term impact on sales: up to five years after the campaign is over. Cutting advertising budgets hurts business in the long run. PIMS analysis shows that the companies, which reduces the advertising, you need much more time to exit the crisis, when the economic situation begins to improve, rather than all the rest.

Reduction in advertising expenses - risk for the company and brand

Without the help of advertising is much more difficult to maintain distribution and resist pressure to lower prices. With the decrease in sales revenues unadvertised brands are falling rapidly, sometimes with very dire consequences. In financial markets, aware of this, so there is a downward trend in share prices of those companies that cut advertising costs.

Emotions - a key in the success of the brand

profitable brand The secret is not to offer discounts and promotions, and to build a strong emotional connection with the consumer. Analysis of 900 cases published by the global advertising research center shows that the advertising campaigns that focus on the emotions tend to prove more profitable than those that convey the rational benefits, even during the crisis.

Seek fame

Word of mouth - moschneyny amplifier. To your customers talking about you, you must do something remarkable. As much as unfashionable as it may be, the TV still has great importance here. The correct mix it with online campaigns can double your returns.

The company threatened mass dismissal of employees

Are there ways to employers using civilized methods to reduce to reduce the legal risks? It turns out there is.

Reduction without harm to health

The company threatened mass dismissal of employees? Firstly, the trouble with the unions. Second, claims and litigation, the deterioration of relations with the executive authorities, nervous atmosphere in the company, the loss of loyalty and so on. D. Reduction of staff always has negative consequences that can affect not immediately and that you can not always predict. This loss of consumer loyalty and loss of worthy image, and the motion to dismiss employees against their organization. Therefore, if there is a need for layoffs, they should be carried out, trying as much as possible to alleviate the plight of reduced staff.

When downsizing is usually the rule "last at the entrance - the first on the way out." Employees who have worked for the organization for a shorter time are prime candidates for dismissal. This usually does not think about the consequences. During the 1998 crisis, many companies have begun to actively develop the total spending retrenchment.

Only single organization, such as Reebok, have kept people moving them at half-time. What happened later? Once in a year the market began to return to normal life, the company laid off employees, started looking for experts, it is not so easy. As a result, firms kept staff, faster and easier to repair, well ahead of competitors. In addition, the company strengthened the loyalty of staff, who even in a crisis taken care of its employees.

Usually business owners with the help of dismissal solve immediate problems, and also in isolation from strategic plans. It may be that now the company has no need for these workers, and six months later it appears. Also, those people who want to save on production start to feel shaky position, and often go away.

It is impossible to expect that the factory, which is scheduled layoffs, staff will work at least "satisfactory". "We have repeatedly asked us to wonder what can be done to people who have announced staff reductions, worked well, - says Svetlana Simonenko, Director of Business Development of the company DeTech, PhD in Psychology. - Nothing canbe done. Absolutely. You can try to do something, but usually it's poor results, people are disappointed, they apathy. And the worst thing about this situation is that they go first, who want to keep. "

If a company is going to upgrade related to the dismissal of workers, we must first find out who can be a vehicle for change. In this case it is necessary to involve advisers who conduct compliance audits. "Recently, we asked the director of a large company, intends to conduct downsizing, and asked to test the abilities of all employees, - says Svetlana Simonenko. - In this approach, you can identify people with amazing abilities, which nevertheless operate on very small positions, such operators.

So there are talented people, which are then tested for ability to learn, willingness to change, the ability to form a team, and so on. D. Such employees may be conduits for new ideas and forms of work. But there are workers who are "carriers of technology," efficient thanks to the experience rather than ability. They do not have the potential to develop. But to get rid of these people - the same thing that cut the branch on which you sit. For these people, too, must hold. As a rule, it is a technology that is highly valued in the market in the sector and which are always happy to accept a competitive enterprise. "

It is necessary that the inevitable cuts was obvious for the staff. The company "Gallaher Liggett-Ducat," for example, has developed the project "Scaling the number of production equipment types of personnel", which allows you to accurately calculate the production quotas for a particular type of equipment for various positions. If the operation of the equipment standards significantly nedovypolnyayutsya - this indicates that the state is inflated. For the head of such a reference to the statistics on the specific numbers can be of great help in talking with employees.

Svetlana Simonenko advises meet with each employee, were laid off. The employer must pay the social responsibility for staff. Needs a consultant who will conduct career guidance dismissed workers, help them find a job. Such procedures necessarily have to be carried out with lower-level staff. More qualified personnel is more likely to be employed on their own, but he needs support.

Innovative approaches to reduce the small companies

Store retailer had to close, which sells souvenirs and gifts, which involved the dismissal of a number of vendors. Store manager held preliminary talks with them and said two variants of possible developments: employees could expect scheduled in a few months the new store opening in another district or quit on their own.

Employees threatened filing a lawsuit in court and at the same time expressed the wish to dismiss them for downsizing. The company began planning for options to reduce staff in the payment of the two-month allowance. It was expected that the final stage of negotiations with the company management staff held safely. Due to the tense atmosphere it was decided to establish a commission to negotiate, consisting of Director of Human Resources, Director close the store and a lawyer.

HR director, rather than relying on information obtained from the store manager decided to listen to employees and their arguments about the impending layoffs. It turned out that the employees would only get two months' allowance, and on the wording in the workbook "made redundant" not one of them insisted. Discharged employees Prize for the work in the amount corresponding to two months' wages, and in the work book made the appropriate entry with the words "on their own".

This option was acceptable and staff, and for the employer. The employer has expended funds in the planned amount, and employees not only received severance pay, but also a record of the dismissal in the work book, which could not prevent their further employment. As is known, the phrase "to reduce the state", employers are often perceived as a veiled evidence of the incompetence of the employee.

This way of downsizing the easiest in small enterprises. But sometimes even large companies are finding the opportunity to negotiate with the employees. "We have two options to solve the problem of redundancies, - says Tatiana Shubina, the HR-director of" Gallaher Liggett-Ducat. " - First - just follow the law. In this case, the procedure is extended to six months.

We must notify the employee of the impending dismissal of two months, to terminate the contract to pay the severance pay for two months, if the person has not found a job, and for the third month, if after five months, he remains unemployed - we again pay him a salary. And if he had not got a fifth month - and the fifth month salary. All this is painful for the employee and for the employer. Therefore, we try to leave with the people on the parties' agreement. We offer a compensation package, more than that, which they are supposed to according to the law. "

The company "Gallaher Liggett-Ducat" offers an employee at a reduction of more than five salaries. Employees have a choice: to go by the standard procedure of reducing or leave the company, received a significant compensation, free up time to devote finding a job and thus normally exist. As a rule, employees choose the second path.

Reduced Production with subsequent employment

Director of Personnel considered that the most difficult to carry out staff reductions in production companies, as the working mentality is significantly different from the mentality of "white collar". "90% of the staff of the production plant - workers and craftsmen. They need to have special skills in negotiation, - says Elena Mayorov, HR Director "Prime Development." - objective reasons should be explained in detail, which caused a reduction and then explain each step of the proposed procedure. "

It is on the production of the most rapidly pass redundancy procedures: a fierce resistance and unwillingness to come to terms with his new fate - classic symptoms sentiments of workers in such a situation. Sometimes it is impossible to cope with the tense situation and using the above methods. To ease the tension, production managers often have to resort to various tricks.

Here is an example. Analytical service printing company has calculated that in the case of working with translation three-shift work schedule on two shifts, the company will get the obvious economic benefits. It was planned to reduce the change of the printers 15. Issuing appropriate orders, production management tried to familiarize employees with them to be reduced. In addition to outright discontent of the working head of production nothing has been achieved: to put a signature under the order of reduction of workers refused.

Or a reference to the Labor Code, no assurances that they will be paid solid benefits, employees are not located in a further conversation with the leadership on this issue. production management turned to the service personnel. The head of service of staff listened to the arguments of employees, and realized that the majority of feared not find a job because of their age, they were mostly men 45-50 years. We all had a great experience, but as in advertisements for job production, which the workers had time to get acquainted, were given strict age limits up to 35-40 years, their frightened by the prospect of the street.

Head of service contacted several similar Printing hoping to make patronage for employees now become the "extra" for their production shifts. Calling a dozen companies, he found again organize production, to which the required printers. Assuring the chief of the department of new production staff that employees fall under the reduction in their company, in fact, are good experts, he agreed to an interview with their Human Resources department.

Workers quickly found a common language with officers of the staff, and with the new head of production. Of course, in this process an enormous role played by the recommendations of the working of the "old" head of personnel services. In this case, the reduction procedure was carried out in strict accordance with the conceived plan, an order signed by all employees, the corresponding allowances paid.

Workers went to a new job within four months after the reduction, as the new production opened by this date. As you can see, all matched, but matching circuit is not accidental. As they say, he who seeks will always find a way out of any, even the difficult situation. The methods may be completely different. The main thing is that employees remain in the working ranks in a good mood, even if another company.

The market is constantly changing: sometimes the company, forced to cut production and lay off people, quickly begins to develop. Competently and carefully conducted downsizing leaves the employer in this case the possibility of appeal to the old-fashioned frames.

One way to minimize the loss in redundancy - it outplacement, outplacement consulting employees across the organization. outplacement scheme, as a rule, is the following: the company pays a recruiting agency for conducting seminars, training downsized employees how to look for a job, for a professionally written resume, as well as for the opportunity to get acquainted with the registered vacancies in the agency. Employment is not guaranteed.

How to use the help of recruiting agencies to find jobs

But as a team with true professionals search is sure to become more efficient and psychologically comfortable. It is important to choose the only true allies ...

employment process requires massive action by the applicant. It is necessary to use every opportunity to cling to the right place, so the recruitment agency should be considered as one of the useful resources that you want to use.

In other words, finding a job by any means, but inefficient.

Having taken this position, you will avoid disappointment and certainly will be able to derive maximum benefit from cooperation with specialists. Besides, when it comes to real professionals, they do have something to offer you.

In a bundle with the pros

A significant number of ads on the "delicious" vacancies published in the press and the Internet is the personnel centers. Even if today's recruiters will not find anything suitable for you, do not think that the time to chat with them wasted. Filling out a form at the agency, you automatically get to its database. This can be compared with a subscription to the electronic newsletter, but the only difference is that you will not come booklets and catalogs, and the proposals for future options. There were times when a man once appealed to the good employment agency, and five years later the curator sent enticing job.

By the way, it is very useful to establish a friendly relationship with an employee of the institution - the real experts often work in such companies. An experienced specialist will quickly understand the situation in the recruitment market and prepare for an interview, to advise on important issues related to employment.

What are the agency

They can be divided into two groups: personnel services and company recruiters. The difference between them is someone they view as a customer and, therefore, who pays them money for their work. For the first - is an unemployed job seeker, that is you. But the headhunters of recruitment agencies begin headhunting commissioned by corporate clients, mastering the existing budgets of many organizations designed to address personnel issues. Applicants same positions that fall into the orbit of the interests of such institutions, as a rule, do not bear any costs.

However, to attract the attention of a headhunter, you have to be the prevailing professional category of those of whom they say that they are "on the road is not lying." These include managers, engineers, scientists and skilled workers, and so forth.

But in the employment office to the customer usually attach a personal manager, which leads him to the goal, as they say, to the bitter end (or before the expiry of the contract, which is concluded with unemployed service provider).

Therefore, it is better to cooperate with the wage "earners work" in the "reward for the result" format. With this method of interaction when contacting the agency you do not pay anything, but sign a commitment: after successful employment for a certain period of the listing brokers salary.
