The advantages of outplacement programs
 |
Improved employee morale
Outplacement programs reduce the trauma of being laid-off and demonstrate your concern for your employees' welfare. This boosts morale not only for individuals in transition but also for those remaining in your organization. |
|
|
Enhanced public relations
Because layoffs are very visible events, your concern for the continuation of your employees' careers has a direct impact on how internal and external stakeholders perceive your company. |
|
|
Reduced likelihood of legal problems
Individuals offered outplacement are more inclined to feel as though they were treated fairly. This reduces organizational liabilities in the areas of severance, unemployment, insurance, and lawsuits. |
|
|
More timely management changes
When professional outplacement services are available, company leaders are less likely to feel guilty about releasing executives and managers who no longer fit into their organizations. Consequently, personnel decisions are made in a more objective and expeditious manner. |
|
|
Improved retention and recruitment
Companies that demonstrate a strong commitment to the welfare of their employees find it easier to retain and recruit key talent. |
|
The value of using a consultant for outplacement
|
A consultant does not have preconceived opinions of terminated employees and their capabilities and is thus better able to assess potential in an objective fashion. |
|
|
A consultant can redirect anger or anxiety away from the organization, and employees experience less embarrassment working with outside specialists. |
|
|
A consultant's activities are conducted away from the organization's premises, without interruption, and with a fully dedicated effort that your human resources department may not be able to provide, due to previous time commitments, staff size, or workload. |
|
|
A consultant gives line managers professional guidance on how to handle terminating employees. The entire activity is conducted within the scope of company policy and regulatory requirements. |
