1 Welcome to TRR Opening doors to future working life 1

2 2 We are looking forward to working with you! Whatever you decide to do, your own motivation plays a massive role and this is where TRR comes into the picture. We coach and guide you one step at a time towards your new, and hopefully better, life. Pernilla, Adviser at TRR Why not watch a film where one of our advisers describes TRR and what we can offer you? Go to trr.se/english/client/ and click on the film.

3 3 I felt that the support my adviser gave me was extremely useful. Everything happened quickly and smoothly, I got lots of tips and offers that I had not heard about and would not have even thought about on my own. I also got help to finance a very good, 3-day course in marketing on social media. Very satisfied! Gabi

4 4 This is TRR TRR Trygghetsrådet supports private sector whitecollar employees when they are made redundant. Your company must have signed a collective agreement and be a member of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise for you to be entitled to this support. Thanks to our long experience and expertise, we can meet you in your current situation and support you in finding a new solution. We have considerable understanding of your needs and we know how the Swedish labour market works. Our goal is that your period between jobs will be as effective and meaningful as possible.

5 5 Our offer to you Personal counselling As a TRR client, you will be assigned a personal adviser who supports and challenges you on your way to a new job, to studies or to starting up a company. You will meet with a person who has great experience of support and of coaching people to change and who sees you as an individual in this situation that may be disruptive, exciting or inspiring. TRR advisers also possess extensive experience of recruitment and jobseeker competence. TRR makes a difference Since its inception in 1974, TRR has supported around people on their way to a new job, and the figures clearly show that our clients have been successful: 9 out of 10 of those who are actively looking for a job will find one. 6 7 months, the median time to the new job. 7 % start their own companies. After three years, 80% of these still have their company as a source of income. 4 % start courses of studies lasting longer than six months. More about AGE Read more about AGE at trr.se/english/financialcompensation/age/. There is a film about how it works and you can make a preliminary calculation of what you will be paid. At the beginning of your cooperation you usually maintain close contact with your adviser. You decide together how often you meet. Between your face-to-face meetings, you can catch up by phone or via or Skype. If the road to a new job solution is long, it feels good to know that you may continue counselling for two years from your last day of employment. Transition activities may begin during your actual period of notice. We also provide support for people with health challanges. Redundancy pay (AGE) AGE is financial support as a complement to unemployment insurance for employees who have been made redundant. The following conditions apply for eligibility for AGE: A monthly salary of at least SEK years of age on your last day of employment with salary. Have worked at least five years in a company who has a contract with TRR.

6 6 Your new situation Going from being an employee with fixed routines, social context and financial security to becoming a jobseeker can mean major upheaval. For some, redundancy is an opportunity to try something new. For others, it is an ending with frustration and sadness as natural reactions. However you feel about it, you have to deal with your situation.

7 7 Looking for a job is also a job Perhaps you have heard the expression Looking for a job is also a job, and this is true. The difference is that you probably have not chosen this situation. TRR is here to support you in your decision about your next step; what you want to do and how to get there. We offer individually-tailored advice, digital support, group activities and the opportunity for financial compensation. You can also take part in competence enhancement courses if you and your adviser feel it is necessary. Your motivation is decisive Your own motivation plays a major role in the design of the process. When you feel that your goal is attractive and clearly-defined, this will hopefully generate both energy and determination. You will then become your own boss and plan your activities for yourself in order to make progress. We act as your support to facilitate the process and ensure that your work is less solitary. For inspiration, why not schedule activities that you think are fun, and surround yourself with people who give you energy? We also usually give tips about arranging your week with clear objectives and responsibilities and acting as if they are your job every day. This often leads to you feeling more at ease with yourself. Family and friends can support you This new situation also means change for your family and friends. Tell them how they can best help you. Be very clear about what you need from the people around you, for example that they listen and understand that jobseeking takes a lot of time. Perhaps you could ask them about any contacts who could be useful to you in your efforts to find a new job?
