“The skill of the Renovo team on our project was noticeable – the attention they gave us and interest in what we were trying to achieve for staff made a real difference. The HR Team did an outstanding job throughout the project in a very challenging environment, working collaboratively with partners such as Renovo who felt like a genuine extension of the HR Team. While I was confident the Renovo support would be effective, the level of care they provided was more unexpected. They stepped towards us during the project, keeping us on track, supporting the team, but challenging us also. The fact that we could be seen by employees as one team was very powerful and really helped employees view the support more positively. Reporting and updates were timely, giving me the opportunity to feed back into the organisation to drive engagement and demonstrate ROI to the Executive Team”

"We were seeking a modern and professional outplacement service that could cater to the diverse needs of our employees. Our search led us to Renovo, and we couldn't be more satisfied. From the moment we engaged with them, their team provided exceptional support, ensuring a seamless transition for our impacted employees. Their dedication to excellence is evident in the glowing feedback we received from our long-serving staff members. Despite the challenges of transitioning, Renovo made the process smooth and dignified for everyone involved. One of the standout features was their quick and easy referral process, which enabled us to swiftly connect our employees with the support they needed. Thanks to Renovo, our employees were able to navigate this transition with confidence and optimism for the future. We highly recommend their services to any business in need of compassionate and effective outplacement support."

"The Renovo team have been brilliant to work with. They took the time to get to know us and our organisation, looked for ways to pro-actively partner with us, as well as ensure the referral process was simple and quick. During a collective consultation process, Renovo ran webinar sessions for our colleagues who were at risk of redundancy to talk them through the support on offer and answer any questions directly. We particularly appreciated how they tailored their sessions to our organisation. We regularly receive positive feedback on the service and support that our colleagues obtain. They are often pleasantly surprised that the outplacement support is practical, useful and personable, rather than being a “tick-box” exercise that the organisation provides."

"We have been working with Renovo since 2022, initially this was in preparation for the creation of a new Unitary Local Authority (merging five organisations into one), and subsequently to support our Transformation Programme – created to specifically respond to the financial challenge the organisation is faced with owing to falling income, rising costs and increased demands on services.

From first contact to the present day the service provided has been exceptional. Renovo colleagues’ experience, knowledge and willingness to support have been a significant positive at a challenging time within our organisation. Colleagues have interacted and benefited from the outplacement services and support in ways that best suited their needs, whether they were looking for a similar role or exploring an entirely different career path. The staff feedback we have received on each of the core components of the support has been excellent.

Whilst it is unfortunate that we’re in a position of having to downsize our organisation further we are delighted to be able to offer staff leaving the organisation the excellent career transition support package from Renovo."

"We have been working with Renovo since 2020 to provide outgoing employees with outplacement support. They offer a variety of programmes to meet the needs of different individuals , all of which provide a comprehensive support package. The feedback from users about the support they receive has been fantastic and we see really good uptake of the programmes. I have found Renovo a pleasure to work with and the team are flexible, professional and responsive, I always highly recommend to anyone looking for outplacement services."

"We had outplacement support from Renovo on a previous project so when we were embarking on another large scale project, it made sense to reach out to Renovo again. We decided on a mixture of support for our diverse workforce, including a series of workshops as well as The Professional Programme for our Senior Managers.

The workshops were scheduled to suit our timescales and business needs and due to the fantastic feedback from attendees, we were able to add additional sessions to meet the increased demand of colleagues wanting to attend. Thanks for being so accommodating! We also had real success with the Professional Programmes which we are still continuing to use as we speak. Likewise we had some great feedback from the Reinventing Retirement Programme as well. To echo the feedback from one employee using the service - 'One word to describe the Renovo programme – amazing!'"

"We partnered with Renovo to provide a support programme for colleagues leaving the business following a restructuring programme. Navigating a career transition can be an incredibly daunting and stressful experience, so we were determined to provide the best possible support for the individuals leaving the firm, and Renovo’s team of dedicated professionals guided our employees through every step of their transition with empathy, expertise, and exceptional care.

Renovo provided personalised coaching that helped each individual identify their strengths, refine their CVs, and improve their interview skills. Their online resources were invaluable, giving people the confidence and tools they needed to navigate the job market successfully. One of the most impressive aspects of the service was the commitment to ongoing support; Renovo provided access to career resources, and one-on-one coaching sessions for twelve months. This level of dedication truly set Renovo apart, and reinforced our confidence that we had chosen the right partner."

Thanks to Renovo’s team of professionals, a challenging period became an opportunity for growth and success, and the individuals we referred were able to move forward with their careers swiftly and positively. We are immensely grateful for their professionalism and heartfelt support during this challenging time. Renovo has not only helped our former employees, but also enhanced our company’s reputation as a caring and responsible employer.
We wholeheartedly recommend Renovo’s Outplacement Services to any organisation seeking top-notch outplacement support for their valued employees."

"We wanted to provide our employees with high quality outplacement support as they moved to the next step in their career, especially as so many of them were young and our sector was facing significant challenges. We needed to help a large number of people across different roles and from speaking with Renovo, we had confidence that they could offer our employees help with their unique and specific needs. This flexibility, as well as the level of service we received from Renovo from the beginning was the reason we chose to work with them.

We’re happy that we’re able to look after our people in the right way and hope that providing them with Renovo’s support meant they were able to make the next step in their career far more easily and with a new level of knowledge and useful tools at hand. We’d be more than happy to use Renovo to provide Outplacement support in the future. Because of the positive feedback we’ve received from our people, if we ever need the support again, it would 100% be Renovo we turn to."

"The team at Renovo worked very well with the HR Project Team – they were communicative and highly responsive and supported us with first rate materials to communicate the support to employees and ensure there was a good understanding of what was being provided. The combination of the HR Team on the ground and Renovo’s flexible, distance based coaching model has worked very well together and feedback from the employees on this blended support has been outstanding.”

"From the first point of contact to the final project report, our experience with Renovo has been an overwhelmingly positive one.

When we first identified the potential closure of the Hemel Hempstead office we knew we wanted to support employees in the right way but in the early stages we had limited visibility of our exact requirements, the numbers of employees that could be affected and timelines for the project. We contacted three providers initially but it was Renovo who were able to add value right from the initial conversation. They gave me total confidence, listening and consulting on the type of support that could work for us and our people, while giving just the right amount of direction and guidance. It felt like the partnership we were looking for from very early on.

We worked with Renovo to build a single framework of support which provided a great deal of versatility for all employees to personalise the support around their very differing needs. Providing a Personal Career Coach for each employee felt instinctively right for us and coupled with all of the supporting resources such as Workfriend and the online Workshops we were confident that each employee had the support they needed to move on successfully.

Once we moved into the implementation phase, we had total confidence in the organisation and management of the project. We had regular communication and updates and Renovo were always very quick to respond or make adaptations as the project progressed over a 6 month period. They helped us manage the communication of the support very well which resulted in strong engagement with the outplacement service. The on-site Awareness Sessions in particular helped to build a real confidence in the value of the support amongst our people who were understandably anxious about the changes.

The amount and depth of positive feedback from employees on the support itself surprised even ourselves and 6 months on from the closure of the site, I still have people coming back to me to thank Parkdean Resorts for the investment they made and talking openly about the impact Renovo had on their transition."

“Having worked with other outplacement organisations before to support employees through periods of restructure, we were initially impressed with Renovo’s fresh and innovative offering. We felt the combination of personalised coaching and online technology provided the ideal blend of support for our employees and created a more suitable service than our previous providers. Their approach made sense to us, concentrating on support that would deliver results while using modern working practices and online resources to their best advantage.

The support we mobilised for employees gave them great flexibility and control over the support they accessed and the Renovo coaches were able to adapt the support across a diverse group of employees with very different needs and capabilities. As a Sunday Times Top 25 employer, we feel staff development and support is very important and helps achieve our high levels of employee engagement. As an organisation, we felt well supported by Renovo when it came to helping us communicate the support effectively to staff and working with our internal team to help manage the project. We were also able to work with them to provide a more specialist Retirement Planning offering, as many of the employees affected were at or considering retirement, so their flexibility and reach worked well for us. We received regular updates and good reporting which gave us everything we needed to report back to the business on the success of the support we provided.

We’ve been working with Renovo for over a year now and it’s been a great experience. I’d have no hesitation in recommending them to other organisations going through change programmes looking to put in place sensible, modern and effective outplacement support for their employees.”

"We chose Renovo to support us with the closure of a large distribution facility in Milton Keynes. Compared to other providers, Renovo was an easy choice for us. We felt very comfortable with their approach – it was professional and comprehensive but human and intuitive and they quickly built a good working relationship with us.

Individuals were offered a range of support options, including Workshops, on site Career Clinics and tailored one to one support. This suited a diverse group of employees from warehouse operators through to the Senior Management team. The facility had a lot of long serving employees and there was a lot of anxiety about the next step for many, so it was really important that we could work with a partner that understood this and could provide the support and reassurance to our employees to help manage the process and give them the tools they needed to move on successfully.

The feedback we received from our employees was excellent and I remember one employee saying that ‘I don’t think the company could have done any more to support us’. Renovo definitely played a key part in helping us achieve that feeling amongst the 170 employees that were affected by the facility closure. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Renovo and without doubt, I would look to them first if I need to manage an outplacement project in the future.”
