Why work with us
It costs you nothing, and you find out if it works.
The first pilot is free, in return for an anonymised case study. You add one link or QR code to the exit pack and name one contact. Nothing else in your process changes.
Outplacement and employee assistance help with the CV and a phone line. This covers the rest of what a job gave: structure, contact, purpose and status. It sits alongside what you already offer.
Employment tribunals received 50,000 single claims in 2025/26, up 39% (Solicitor News). From January 2027, unfair dismissal protection reaches staff with six months' service (Blake Morgan).
This is not legal advice, and we do not claim it reduces claims.
You get anonymised totals: how many were invited, joined and stayed, and the average wellbeing change once a group reaches 10. We publish our own numbers either way, including if few people join.
How it helps
Something for the people leaving. Something for you.
For the people leaving
- A routine and a reason to get up.A wake time, a daily walk and one small action a week.
- People who expect them.A fortnightly call with others in the same position, if they want it.
- A plan for the search and the setbacks.Skills, their story in two sentences, and what to do when it goes quiet.
- A private place.They sign up with a personal email. You never see who joined or what they said.
For your business
- An answer to "what do you do for people who leave?"Support that goes past the CV, at no cost.
- Almost no work.One link or QR code in the exit pack, and one named contact on our side.
- Real numbers.Anonymised totals, never names, scores or what anyone said.
- An honest test.If it helps, you will see it. If it does not, we will say so.
The idea behind it
Pay is the part everyone plans for. A job also gives structure, activity, contact, purpose and status. When it ends, all six go at once.
I was made redundant after seventeen years in MedTech. The CV help was easy to find. Help with the rest was not. So I am building it, and testing it before I ask anyone to rely on it.
The science, and its limits
The harm of job loss is well documented. What helps is less certain. We build on the parts with the strongest backing and say where it is thin.
| Figure | What it means |
|---|---|
| 113,000 | People made redundant in the UK in June to August 2026, 3.8 per 1,000 employees. ONS |
| 324 | Studies pooled in a major review. Unemployed people had worse mental health, and the evidence points to job loss as the cause. Paul and Moser, 2009 |
| 19% | Of the variation in mental health explained by the six things above. Each one counted on its own. Karsten et al., 2023 |
| 1,801 | People in a randomised trial of a job-search and coping programme. Weeks 5 to 6 and 9 to 10 of ours follow its parts. Michigan JOBS |
Symptoms are higher out of work and fall on re-employment

What we do not know yet
- This programme has not been tested in the UK. The pilot is the test.
- The identity step in weeks 7 to 8 is new and untested.
- How many people will join. We will publish our numbers either way.
- It is not counselling or treatment. It does not replace outplacement or your legal process, and we make no claim about legal outcomes.
