Objections Before Saying Yes

  • "How do I convince the CFO and CEO to switch from our legacy outplacement vendor?"
  • "Will departing executives feel genuinely supported or handed off to an automated tool?"

✨ Combined 1:1 & Group Coaching Built In

ReME® guarantees human centric support by providing both 1:1 Executive Coaching and Cohort Group Coaching together in every program package.

3 Ways Companies Finance ReME® Services Without Net Budget Expansion

1. Fractional Severance Realignment (Less Than One Month Severance Optimization)

Coach & Advocate Strategy: Direct a small fraction of severance salary payout (under 30 days of salary cash) into comprehensive ReME® outplacement. Departing leaders receive both 1:1 Executive Coaching and Group Coaching, transforming potentially disgruntled exits into brand ambassadorship without increasing total severance budget.

Budget Origin & Resource Allocation: Severance Budget Line Items or HR Offboarding Expense Pools.

2. Workforce Restructuring Grants & WARN Act Subsidies

Coach & Advocate Strategy: Utilize public dislocated worker grants and state rapid response subsidies to fund career transition programs for departing talent, maximizing external support for impacted employees.

Budget Origin & Resource Allocation: State Workforce Development Grants or Federal Dislocated Worker Subsidies.

3. Unallocated Professional Development & Executive Coaching Rollovers

Coach & Advocate Strategy: Reallocate remaining annual employee development or leadership coaching funds originally earmarked for departing staff to provide high touch transition support.

Budget Origin & Resource Allocation: Corporate L&D Allocation or HR Leadership Development Pools.

The Strategic Sales Response

  • C Suite Alignment Briefs: Turn key executive decision briefs provided for CEO, CFO, CLO, and COO buy in.
  • Brand Equity Protection: Transforms exiting leaders into brand ambassadors with certified reference portfolios.
  • Elevated Morale: High touch 1:1 coaching combined with cohort group support ensures exiting leaders transition with pride.
