Wessanen UK

Wessanen is a European Food business, focussed specifically within the health and organic produce market. Headquartered in the Netherlands, the company has over five production facilities across Europe, with two sites based in the UK. The group owns a number of distinct food brands including Kallo, Whole Earth, Mrs Crimbles and Clipper Teas. As a growing and acquisitive business, the HRD in the UK wanted to form a partnership with a UK outplacement provider to provide support ad hoc redundancies that may occur from time to time.

The challenge

The challenge was to create a simple framework of support that could be flexible and adaptable enough to meet very different needs of individual employees that might be supported from time to time. With no specific change project in mind, Wessanen needed a support programme that could be built around the requirements of an employee while keeping a close control on costs and that could be implemented quickly easily on an ad hoc basis as needs arose over time.

The solution

Wessanen selected Renovo’s Professional Programme which enabled them to provide a single framework of support for all of their employees. With 3 months unlimited 1-2-1 support from a Personal Career Coach, supported by access to wealth of online career tools and resources, including a programme of live, online workshops, each programme is built around the specific needs of the employee. Over the last two years, the programme has successfully supported employees from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences including an Accounts Payable Assistant, IT Manager and Marketing Director.

What Wessanen said

“Renovo appealed to us because we were looking for an outplacement service that would be able to adapt to both simple and more complicated situations at a competitive price. Renovo proved adaptable and effective and the service they provided was far more flexible than more traditional options. They have been consistently responsive, always available for conversation and feedback when required and have always responded with understanding and professionalism.”
