Outplacement

Digitalisation, rationalisation, restructuring, mergers and even insolvencies repeatedly lead to redundancies and staff reductions. This not only affects ordinary employees of companies, but in many cases also managers.

In order to organise the separation process fairly and offer those affected a perspective for professional reorientation, more and more companies are making use of outplacement counselling (also known as new placement counselling). This refers to professional counselling from which both the employer and the dismissed employee can benefit considerably. 

This service is usually financed by the respective company.

 

Your advantages

as an employer

Companies can save costs by offering outplacement counselling, as the employees affected by redundancies can usually find a new job more quickly. At the same time, those responsible emphasise that they are interested in a fair separation. In this way, expensive legal disputes can be avoided in certain cases. In addition, the offer of outplacement counselling has a positive effect on the motivation of the remaining employees and the image of the company.

  • Cost saving
  • Fair treatment of employees
  • Legal disputes can be avoided
  • Positive impact on the remaining employees

Your advantages

As an employee

Professional outplacement counselling usually shortens the search for a new job considerably. The redundant employee receives personalised support throughout the entire application process. The consultant analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the person concerned in great detail. In this way, outplacement can also be used as an opportunity for professional reorientation. Another advantage is that the client can benefit from the outplacement provider's network of contacts.

  • Shortening the job search
  • Personalised support in the application process
  • Professional reorientation
  • Contacts in the hidden labour market
