OUTPLACEMENT

The process of facilitating a terminated employee's search fora new job by provision of professional services, such as

counseling, paid for by the former employer.

Itis the efforts made by a downsizing company to help former

employees through the transition to new jobs and help them

re-orient to the job market.

A consultancy firm usually provides the outplacement

services which are paid for by the former employer and are

achieved through practical advice and psychological support.

Outplacement is either delivered through individual one-on-

one sessions or in a group format. Topics include career

guidance, career evaluation, resume writing and interview

preparation, developing networks, job search skills and

targeting the job market.

Cont..

The term outplacementwas coined more than thirty years ago by

the founder of a Chicago-based career consultancy. With the increased rates of downsizing, rightsizing, redundancies

and lay offs, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s, businessesincreasingly found a need for some form of assistance inreducing the trauma of redundancy for both departing employeesand those who remain. Indeed, research shows that losing one's

job is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face,ranked third behind death and divorce.

Outplacement firms can also provide counseling support forindividuals who have not been offered those services throughtheir employer, but choose, on their own, to pay an outplacementor "career management" service to provide the same assistance.Since the client of an outplacement firm is the individual or firmthat pays the fee, the individual who elects to contract with anoutplacement firm on their own may often receive more one-on-one time, and more individualized attention, than is usuallyoffered when the company hires the outplacement provider.
