Do I really need to offer my departing employees Outplacement?Outplacement services are not legally required, but demonstrate a commitment to employee well-being and can protect your employer brand.
-
How does Outplacement work?Outplacement services can be delivered through in-person sessions, online platforms, or a hybrid of both. The duration of outplacement services may differ by service provider, but typically lasts 6 to 18 months.
-
Is Outplacement right for my company?Outplacement is most suitable for employers who have plans for workforce restructuring, downsizing, redundancies, relocations, mergers, or buyouts. While it comes at an additional cost, offering outplacement assistance benefits employers by enhancing their company's reputation and reducing risks associated with terminations.
-
What does Outplacement exclude?Outplacement services do not assist your employees with job introductions or promise job placements. Instead, they equip individuals with the resources and assistance needed to independently and effectively navigate their own job search, based on the expertise of experienced recruitment professionals.
-
Can’t I do Outplacement in-house?You definitely can! However, many companies prefer to outsource their outplacement initiatives to third-party providers for their expertise, scalability, and streamlined process, allowing the company to focus on its core operations and ensuring a smoother transition. Managing outplacement services internally can be resource-intensive and complex, and may divert internal resources from organizational objectives due to the emotional challenges and stress involved for departing employees and the company itself.
