Moving Forward...

Brand perception remains a critical consideration.  Simply put, our best clients utilize us in part to ensure their departing alumni, as well as their family and friends, remain loyal customers of the brand and recommend Ford Motor Company as an employer of choice! 

We feel good about the process built between Ford Motor Company and Right Management. We recommend carrying forward the pre-event planning support, post-notification wellness check, and ongoing progress checks..

“I know that companies have laid people off and left them out to dry. I’m very thankful I didn’t have that. And, investing in outplacement sounds like not just the right thing to do, but the only thing to do.”
