Outplacement in case of dismissal: professional guidance to new work

A dismissal is often unexpected and involves a lot of uncertainty.
Whether it's the result of a reorganization, a changed position or personal circumstances — it's always a major event.
Outplacement in case of dismissal helps you to keep a grip on the situation, structure the next step and re-enter the labor market with confidence.

What is outplacement in case of dismissal?

Outplacement is a process where you receive professional guidance in finding a new job after dismissal.
An experienced coach helps you process the dismissal, rediscover your talents and determine a new direction.

One outplacement process usually consists of:

  • Career coaching — gain insight into your qualities, wishes and opportunities.
  • Interview training courses — learn how to present yourself powerfully, both on paper and in conversations.
  • Network guidance — support in expanding and effectively deploying your network.
  • Retraining or reorientation — researching new professional directions or sectors.

The goal: to find a new, suitable job as quickly as possible that matches who you are and what you can do.

The benefits of outplacement

Outplacement offers benefits on both a professional and personal level.
It's more than just job search guidance — it helps you make a sustainable career switch and regain trust.

The most important advantages at a glance:

  • Tailored personal guidance
    The process is fully tailored to your situation and background.
    Your coach helps you discover strengths, prepare a compelling resume, and prepare for interviews.
  • Greater chance of getting a new job
    Through intensive guidance, you increase your visibility in the labor market.
    You learn how to network, profile on LinkedIn and approach vacancies strategically.
  • Emotional support
    A dismissal is not only business, but also emotional.
    During the process, there is room for processing, reflection and regaining motivation.
  • New direction and opportunities
    Maybe now is the time to go in a different direction.
    Via career coaching you'll discover what really suits you — whether it's a new job or self-employment.

Outplacement via the employer

In many cases, outplacement is arranged by the employer.
This is often done via the transition payment or on the basis of a settlement agreement.
Outplacement is then (partly) funded as part of the dismissal package.

For employers, this is also a form of good employment: you show that you take employees seriously, even when the roads separate.
