Proven results

“We initially viewed outplacement as an added expense on top of severance. What changed our perspective was seeing how quickly Rauch & Associates moved people into new roles. The speed alone materially reduced our unemployment exposure, but just as importantly, it protected our reputation during a very visible transition.

From an HR standpoint, it took significant pressure off our team to know our valued employees were being treated with dignity and true caring. From a financial standpoint, it was easy to justify to our CFO once we saw the outcomes.

This was not a ‘nice to have.’
It was a smart business decision.”

- Bre Johnson, HR Manager, Automotive Structures North America (ASNA), Constellium North America

A word from our Founder

"I'm passionate about Outplacement because when it's done right, it not only helps your valued employee land well in a new job they can be excited about, it also becomes a story about your company's commitment to integrity.

It's easy to lose sight of the "survivors"... the employees who aren't part of the downsizing. But they are watching, and how you treat their colleagues who are losing their jobs tells them everything they need to know about whether they should stay."

~Lauren Rauch, President and Founder of Rauch & Associates

Doing Right By People is How You Protect the Business

When employees leave well-supported, they land faster, speak positively about the organization both in the community and on Glassdoor reviews... they don't become legal risks and best of all? The remaining team doesn't hear bitterness- they hear how well their teammates were treated, despite the tough situation.  

Results that speak for themselves

We provide 1:1 attention and proven results.

We don’t offer cookie-cutter, "watch this video then check-the-box" career coaching.

~Lauren Rauch, President and Founder of Rauch & Associates

"You learn what a company truly stands for when someone's journey there ends. But more importantly, you learn exactly which risks they were carrying — and whether they were paying attention."

Lauren Rauch has spent 20+ years watching what happens when workforce transitions go wrong — and building the systems to prevent it.

She founded Rauch & Associates because the outplacement market offered two options: expensive legacy firms that over-promised and under-delivered, and cheap self-service platforms that offered the appearance of support without the substance.

Neither option protected employer brands. Neither option moved the needle on time-to-placement. Neither option gave HR leaders the legal documentation they needed.

Rauch & Associates was built to fill that gap — for organizations that understand a workforce reduction is a business event with measurable financial and legal consequences, and that those consequences are entirely manageable with the right partner.
