In the case of DoorDash layoffs, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doordash.news\/company\/teamupdate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tony Xu, CEO, announced that the company would create an opt-in directory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for employers to source the talent, and also provide recruiting assistance. In the past few years, layoff lists have become a trend, especially in the tech industry. But are layoff lists helpful to employees who have been laid off? While they can be beneficial in some instances, and certainly shouldn\u2019t hurt an individual\u2019s chances of finding new work, layoff lists don\u2019t address the many needs of the newly unemployed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at how this strategy can and can\u2019t help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Layoff Lists Can Help Employees<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Layoff lists can help both employees and their former employers in just a few very specific ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 18px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a short window of time (maybe as little as a day), the impacted employees are promoted online to the company&#8217;s network to offer recruiters and hiring managers direct connections and access to laid off employees\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 18px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sometimes taboo feeling associated with being laid off can be alleviated by being part of a larger list that\u2019s being recommended to outside employers<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 18px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company, by publicly displaying support for the employees, gains short-term credibility as a caring employer<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Layoff Lists Alone Aren\u2019t Much Help to Employees or Employers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because so few impacted employees are likely to be contacted by potential employers, the layoff list alone isn\u2019t enough to help the majority of individuals get new work. And as a result, the brand protection it offers the employer is short-lived at best. Not only are the laid-off individuals likely to see the assistance provided by their former employer as inadequate, but the remaining employees\u2019 positive opinion of their organization may also be diminished. With so many unhappy current and former employees taking their views to sites like Glassdoor and LinkedIn, the employer\u2019s image could be tarnished fairly quickly, making retention and talent acquisition more challenging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an ideal scenario, the many tech companies (and those from other industries) seeking talented employees from the high profile organization would request the layoff list or access it from one of the many LinkedIn posts promoting it. They\u2019d scan it for the roles they\u2019re hiring, look up the LinkedIn profiles (which would already have the information about the candidate that they need), and contact those individuals for interviews. And (because this is an ideal scenario) since the employees would have excellent phone, videoconference, and in-person presence, they\u2019d be offered work. Everyone is taken care of and happy. The laid off employees post comments on their former employer\u2019s Glassdoor profile about their amazing experiences resulting from the layoff lists. The employer is a hero!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a more realistic scenario, here\u2019s what happens: The list is posted on LinkedIn. That day, recruiters browse and contact a small percentage of professionals on the list and then make a mental note to come back to the list when they have other openings to fill that match others on the list. They may or may not remember the list when a job vacancy arises. After connecting with the employees on the list, the interview may not be successful without proper preparation. After being laid off, employees can feel a lack of confidence, and may stumble through questions about the layoff. In addition, if they haven\u2019t interviewed in some time, they\u2019ll be rusty and will need to rehearse answers to industry-specific and even common interview questions. In the end, many employees will have to continue their job searches on their own. And with the continued stress that unemployment brings, so does the opportunity for bad reviews of how their former employer let them go without much assistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the goal of creating a layoff list is to offer a genuine means of connecting impacted employees to new opportunities, employers need to recognize that a layoff list is not helpful as a primary\u00a0 strategy, nor should it be considered a benefit, when managing a reduction in force.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what is helpful to the laid-off employee?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees can feel unmoored when they are laid off, especially when the layoff is unexpected. The most helpful way to support them is with a solution that effectively helps them find their next opportunity. That means taking into consideration the varied levels of guidance they may need in their job search, with resources, tools, and live one-on-one interaction with an expert career coach. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/solutions\/outplacement\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outplacement is the solution that will provide this type of support<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the following ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-26173\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/AdobeStock_230581296.jpg\" alt=\"A graphic of a man typing on a laptop with question marks superimposed, representing an assessment to help a laid off employee identify interests and strengths\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us?longdesc=26173&amp;referrer=26168\" \/>An effective way to target relevant employers and explore different industries and\/or careers<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees most desired employers may not access the layoff list, and some employees may also not yet have an idea of which employers would be the right fit for their corporate culture preferences, goals, and work styles. Some may benefit from changing industries or roles entirely, but not know where to start and may feel uncertain as to whether their experience is transferable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assessments and exercises can help laid off individuals to identify areas of interest and the skills and strengths that transcend industries and roles. However, an outplacement career coach can be even more beneficial in this area, not only by making suggestions of how to leverage the results of the assessments, but also by offering a personalized approach that meets the individual where they are. In doing so, the coach can create a strategy, including networking, potential upskilling, and positioning and branding, for the individual to find the right role, whether in the same or a different industry. Career coaches can also help create a strategy to research and target companies that suit the employees\u2019 wants and needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guidance on transitioning to retirement<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes an employee takes their experience of being laid off as an opportunity to reflect and consider retirement. Retirement can be a challenging adjustment for those unprepared for it, and layoff lists won\u2019t be any help for anyone looking to make that transition. Many newly retired people find it difficult to adjust to life after retirement and be unaware of the possibilities that exist, including part-time work, volunteering, board opportunities, classes, and more. A retirement specialist can help guide them through their many considerations, including finances and personal wellbeing, and help them transition more easily into life after full-time work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-26174\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26174\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/AdobeStock_536856829.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic of a man writing his resume on a laptop\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us?longdesc=26174&amp;referrer=26168\" \/>Help writing a resume<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers using the layoff list to contact laid off employees won\u2019t ask them for a resume, right? Uh, wrong. But that\u2019s okay, since every employee on that list has a stellar resume, written to current best practices. In an ideal world, anyway. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the real world, however, recommended formats and guidelines around resumes frequently change. No matter how recently an employee has updated their resume, having it reviewed by a professional is a wise decision before beginning a new job search. Assuming the individual will need to do some of their own job searching (if the layoff list doesn\u2019t immediately result in a desirable job offer), they\u2019ll also want to make sure that their resume is optimized for applicant tracking system (ATS) filters. In fact, they may want to develop a few versions of their resume in order to best target different roles or types of companies. An expert resume writer and career coach would be a valuable partner in this area to ensure the impacted employee is putting their best self forward to potential employers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help with personal branding and networking<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the majority who don\u2019t successfully find work through a layoff list, personal branding and networking skills are vital to a job search.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even for the employee who scores an interview through the layoff list, they\u2019ll need to ensure that their LinkedIn profile is up-to-date. In many cases, some members of the hiring team may <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">only<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> look at an applicant\u2019s LinkedIn profile before an interview. They get an email with the candidate\u2019s name and then head over to LinkedIn to scan the candidate\u2019s bio, titles and previous employers before the meeting. If the LinkedIn profile doesn\u2019t accurately and positively reflect the candidate\u2019s experience and skills, the interviews may not begin on the right note or may go in the wrong direction completely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how someone goes about their job search, having a well-written LinkedIn profile can help them get noticed by those who may aid them in getting them hired, whether that be recruiters, hiring managers, former colleagues, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/new-survey-reveals-85-all-jobs-filled-via-networking-lou-adler\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As 85% of jobs are filled through networking, laid off employees need to have these important social skills<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They should also know how to pitch themselves to potential employers or those with connections, and be able to represent their professional backgrounds in the most positive and relevant light in order to increase their chances of finding desirable employment. These are all areas that outplacement programs can help with. From workshops to career coaching, individuals can get support that will help them not only find work but excel in building and maintaining professional relationships in general.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-26175\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/AdobeStock_493875966.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic of a man checking off a list and signing his signature\" width=\"640\" height=\"351\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us?longdesc=26175&amp;referrer=26168\" \/>Interview techniques, practice, and feedback<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if an impacted employee is found by an employer via the layoff list, they may still need help with interviewing, as many job seekers do, and especially those who traditionally work in roles that don\u2019t require much face-to-face interaction or social skills. Interviews are inherently uncomfortable and anxiety-producing situations for many. After all, when the stakes are high\u2014such as those for getting the perfect (or any) new job\u2014the pressure is on to perform. Having <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/intoo-outplacement-candidate-success-story-raymond\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">resources that help individuals feel more comfortable with interviewing, such as an interactive video interview practice tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a career coach for role playing and feedback, are invaluable to the success of a job search.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An empathetic ear, encouragement, and support<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what type of assistance is provided to employees when they\u2019re laid off, the layoff itself can be stressful and have many repercussions. The laid-off individual may experience financial and emotional strain, feelings of loss and confusion, and overwhelm over the need to start over. An experienced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.intoo.com\/featured-content\/intoo-whole-human-coaching-overview?utm_source=website-blog&amp;utm_medium=direct&amp;utm_campaign=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">outplacement career coach can help that employee move forward<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a positive outlook and provide support and resources to help with these areas, as well as a workable strategy to find meaningful new work. When an individual doesn\u2019t have to go through the job search alone, they\u2019re more likely to find work quickly\u2014and less likely to spend time dwelling on their layoff experience with their former employer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So What\u2019s the Verdict? Are Layoff Lists Helpful to Impacted Employees?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the layoff lists to be effective in helping employees AND helping the employer maintain or repair their reputation following a layoff, they should be supplemented with outplacement in order to achieve the employer\u2019s goals of increasing speed to hire. With workshops, guides, online learning, job alerts, resume writing, social media branding, interview practice, retirement and entrepreneurship guidance and more\u2014plus, encouragement, advice, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/solutions\/outplacement\/career-coaching\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feedback provided by an experienced coach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014outplacement offers everything a laid off employee needs to find the job they want (or retire happily, or start a business) quickly and successfully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more supported employees feel <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.intoo.com\/guides\/layoff-letter-template?utm_source=website-blog&amp;utm_medium=direct&amp;utm_campaign=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">following a layoff<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the more likely it is that an employer will manage to avert negative repercussions to its reputation as a result of the layoffs. By using an outplacement provider offering affordable, flexible, and personalized services, the real world for both the employer and former employees becomes a friendlier, more optimistic place. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">INTOO&#8217;s outplacement program helps employees transition to new jobs through an unlimited number of hours of one-on-one, on-demand coaching from premier career counselors, resume reviews, and other career services. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/solutions\/outplacement\/what-is-outplacement\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Learn more<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about how our outplacement program can benefit your company when you\u2019re transitioning employees.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the many layoffs taking place, particularly in the tech space, companies are using a variety of strategies to help their impacted employees.
