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.
“The modular structure of the process suited my situation well. Care4Careers was there at all times, with personal and professional guidance. It provided direction and confidence, allowing me to find a suitable position more quickly.”

Why outplacement?
From dismissal to new opportunities.
Outplacement offers practical and emotional support and prevents long-term uncertainty, conflicts or absenteeism. Not only employees benefit from this guidance — organizations also maintain peace, direction and reputation in a challenging phase. Outplacement thus makes the difference between a farewell and a fresh start.
Quick perspective on new work
With direct guidance towards the next step, you prevent downtime, uncertainty and long-term absenteeism.
Personal and goal-oriented process
Outplacement offers customized solutions: empathetic where necessary, result-oriented where possible — always tailored to the person and situation.
Regaining confidence and direction
Through coaching, reflection and career insights, new energy, direction and faith in your own abilities are created.
Practical support every step of the way
From focusing on a resume and cover letter to preparing for job interviews and networking strategies.
Entrepreneurship support
Those who want to start independently will receive expert guidance in setting up a viable business.
Professional, human and reliable
Outplacement provides peace, clarity and mutual respect in an often emotionally fraught phase — good for people and the organization.
Outplacement costs
An outplacement process costs between €2,000 and €7,500
The costs depend on the duration, content and intensity of the process. At Care4Careers, we work with customized programs, tailored to the employee's situation, goals and wishes.
For larger reorganizations or multiple employees at the same time, we offer modular processes. Here, each participant chooses the modules that suit him or her — from self-insight and application training to personal branding or self-employment. In this way, the process remains personal, targeted and efficiently deployable for employers.

When will outplacement be used?
Careful guidance when changing work
Whether it's forced dismissal, voluntary departure or a career change — outplacement helps employees and employers to guide this transition professionally, humanely and effectively. With expert support, you reduce the risk of downtime, conflicts or long-term absenteeism, and increase the chance of taking a sustainable new step.
Outplacement in the event of (imminent) dismissal or voluntary departure
For employees who are faced with dismissal or voluntary departure.
When employment ends, outplacement helps make a respectful and effective transition to new work.
Outplacement in case of reorganization or scaling down
For organizations that want to scale down carefully.
Organizations that want to phase out without damaging their reputation or team morale opt for professional guidance.
Outplacement in case of no return to old position
For employees who are unable to return to their previous position.
When returning after illness or change is not possible, outplacement offers an alternative to a new perspective.
Outplacement when in doubt about the current career direction
For professionals who are considering a new direction.
For employees who get stuck in their work or want to take a fresh course.
Outplacement for people over 50 or long-term employed professionals
For experienced employees with a distance from the labor market.
When someone has to take a big step into the labor market after working in one place for a long time.
Outplacement in case of need of a fresh start as a self-employed person
For experienced employees who want to start their own business.
Outplacement also offers guidance towards self-employment, for those who do not (anymore) want to be employed.
Outplacement in the event of a burnout
In case returning to the old function is no longer an option.
After prolonged failure, such as burnout, returning to the old work environment is often not desirable or feasible. Outplacement then offers a careful alternative: personal guidance to new work that does suit the employee's resilience and ambitions.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about outplacement.
What is the chance that someone will find a new job through outplacement?
Most participants find a suitable position within 6 months. Thanks to our personal guidance, coaching and job search help, the chances of sustainable work are significantly increased. Of course, it depends very much on the position and the person whether the process leads to a new position.
What is the difference between outplacement and second track reintegration?
Outplacement focuses on finding a new job outside the organization after dismissal. Second track reintegration takes place during illness, seeking appropriate work outside your own organization, in accordance with the Gatekeeper Improvement Act.
Where does the outplacement process take place?
Our processes are hybrid: participants can choose to have conversations on location (including in Gouda, Emmen and other cities), online via Teams, or a combination of these. Care4careers has the opportunity to have conversations at more than 55 locations in the Netherlands.
What does an outplacement process cost on average?
The costs vary between €2,000 and €7,500, depending on the duration and content of the journey. At Care4Careers, we work with modular processes, tailored to the employee's situation, wishes and opportunities.
Do you have experience with people with a migration background?
Yes, we supervise a diverse group of participants. Our coaches are trained in inclusive career guidance and have extensive experience with people with diverse cultural backgrounds.
Do you also offer outplacement for employers in the event of (collective) dismissal?
Yes. We supervise both individual and collective outplacement processes for employers. Whether it concerns one employee or a larger group, we provide personal coaching, labor market orientation and - if desired - group sessions to carefully and future-oriented guide the dismissal. This is how you support your employees and show good employment practices.
Do you also offer outplacement programs in English?
Yes, definitely. We offer full outplacement guidance in English for international employees or expats. Our coaches are experienced in supervising non-Dutch speaking candidates and tailor the process to both the language and the cultural context.
Is outplacement reimbursed by the UWV or the employer?
In most cases, the employer pays for the outplacement process, often as part of a settlement agreement. In some situations, such as reintegration or termination of a temporary contract, compensation from the UWV may be possible.
When is it wise to offer outplacement?
Outplacement is appropriate in the event of (imminent) dismissal, reorganization or when a position ceases to exist. Even in the event of a long-term failure or mismatch between employee and organization, outplacement offers perspective and guidance towards a new future.
Who is outplacement suitable for?
Outplacement is suitable for employees who lose their current position and need guidance in finding new work. This applies to all job levels and ages — from young talent to senior professionals.
How long does an outplacement process take?
An outplacement process takes an average of 3 to 6 months, depending on the modules and the participant's pace. At Care4Careers, we always tailor the process to the person.
