Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) now provides a
cost-effective alternative to traditional outplacement services for
transitioning employees. ACS Transition Services – Powered by
RiseSmart is the newest addition to ACS’ suite of human resources
outsourcing solutions that offers employers a wide range of human
resource services.
ACS Transition Services - Powered by RiseSmart provides
companies experiencing job reductions with a proven, innovative
Web-based service focused on helping transitioned employees quickly
get their next job, and reduces employer outplacement costs by up
to half compared to those of traditional services.
“This is a new model for transition services, one that is geared
to providing strong returns for both employers and employees,” said
Mark Squiers, executive managing director, ACS Human Resources
Outsourcing services. “By eliminating costly traditional services
like office space and group seminars, which have been found to be
of low value to employees, the focus is on aggressively helping
workers find a new job. Valuable services such as professional
resume writing and personalized support for individuals remain,
while companies have the ability to quickly deploy the additional
services without dealing with infrastructure issues.”
The outplacement services program can accommodate all levels of
employees from across many different industries, and its Web-based
operations enable transition services to be provided to individuals
in any location. Employees access outplacement services at any time
through a custom company-branded portal. Transitioning employees
are each assigned a transition specialist who provides one-on-one
support and coaching, creates a personalized,
professionally-written custom resume, assists them in utilizing
social networks in their job search, and delivers personalized job
leads from across the Web.
“ACS Transition Services – Powered by RiseSmart combines
sophisticated technology with one-on-one support to help displaced
employees get back to work - fast,” said Sanjay Sathe,
founder and CEO of RiseSmart, a Silicon Valley-based provider of
Web-enabled outplacement and job search services. “This focus on
accountability and results gets individuals back to work sooner
while saving employers in severance costs and unemployment
taxes.”
