Relocation and Outsourcing

When an organisation relocates or outsources jobs or workplaces, it is a highly complex issue for both the organisation and its employees.

For many years Hartmanns have acted as a partner before, during and after the following types of processes:

• Relocation of production, customer service or R & D abroad

Usually with the desire to retain staff throughout the process, the transfer of knowledge from Danish to foreign staff, and in “waves” over the course of 1-3 years.

• Relocation of government jobs

Usually with the simultaneous offer to current staff to relocate jobs, the appointment of new employees and Newplacement courses for employees who choose not to move.

• Outsourcing of jobs to external partner

Usually with the need for the transfer of knowledge from the staff being laid off to the staff of the external partner and possibly the transfer of selected staff to the new company.
