What is outplacement?

Outplacement is professional guidance in finding new work after dismissal.

Outplacement helps dismissed employees to process their situation and find a suitable new job. The process is personal, goal-oriented and often part of a settlement agreement or social plan. Both employers and employees can benefit from a careful outplacement process.

This not only focuses on finding a new job, but also ensuring a smooth transition, less stress and sustainable happiness at work.

Both employers and employees benefit from careful outplacement process: the employee finds suitable work more quickly, while the employer says goodbye in a respectful way and maintains peace and trust within the organization.
