Employee Career Care Benefit™

Introducing the *NEW* Employee Career Care Benefit™

With a team of career development coaches and professional branding consultants, HMS Career Coaching supports your employees at all levels and stages of the hiring cycle. We make it possible for you to be considered one of the Best Places to Work in Maine.

Why Do We Offer Employee Career Care Benefit?

Attracting candidates is challenging. Once hired, workers evaluate their commitment continuously with an eye to a better offer.

When workforce needs fluctuate, the competition for scarce talent willing to work on a seasonal or contract basis is challenging. Offering benefits to support employees at the end of a season or a contract can provide the incentive for them to join your organization and to come back again, season after season.

If this resonates with you, the Employee Career Care Benefit offers a unique way to serve employees and gives leverage to your hiring team.

What is the Employee Career Care Benefit?

Career coaching at the termination of employment, or outplacement, has traditionally been an expensive service afforded only for higher level employees. The Employee Career Care Benefit changes that. We deliver job search and career planning services to all employees. The result is a much more efficient and less stressful transition from one seasonal job to the next and an increased likelihood the employee will return to the original employer for the next year’s season.

How does the Employee Career Benefit work?

• The Employee Career Care Benefit is offered to the employee as part of the benefit package.
• Upon termination*, employees are provided with the contact information for HMS Career Coaching. Simultaneously, our team receives notification of the eligibility of the employee from you.
• We assign a coach to the employee.
• The coach contacts the employee to schedule an intake call to kick off the Career Care program. See included services below. We make several attempts to engage each eligible employee. Our goal is 100% participation.
• We deliver the package of services to completion.
• Once an employee has been provided with all of the Career Care services, we ask for feedback and provide you with a detailed, quantitative evaluation of our services on behalf of your employees.
