Ran across this piece the other day, “How the Jobless Can Find Support in a Job Club” which talks about the benefits of a well run job club.  Here at TALX we are strong supporters of using job clubs to help get folks back to work faster.  In fact, we use job clubs in the delivery of our TALX Reemployment Service.  The service is purchased by employers as a benefit for exiting employees and is designed to motivate, educate and connect job seekers to available jobs more quickly than they would otherwise be able to do on their own.

This author does a great job of explaining what to look for in a job club from the job seeker’s perspective.  As an employer, whether you choose to provide help for exiting employees through an outsourced solution like the TALX Reemployment Service or provide support in house, putting together a job club to support laid off workers in their search for new employment can go a long way toward helping them get back to work more quickly.
