Firstly, we want to tackle the definition of Outplacement as it still isn’t a widely known term. Outplacement is a very well-established service in the UK where businesses who are making an employee redundant do what they can to smooth the transition to the next step in their career. Outplacement offers support and reassurance in a difficult time for the employee concerned and helps to give them direction and focus as they pursue the new opportunities that will open up for them.
Outplacement used to be reserved for the higher echelons of the corporate world, but it is now becoming more commonplace to offer this service to employees of all grades as its value has been recognised by many.
It is often now seen as an essential part of the employee-journey within the company and is often an incredibly helpful process to allow employees who have held a particular position for a sustained period to prepare to re-enter the jobs market. Assistance in defining their own personal brand can be particularly helpful for longer-term employees who haven’t had to engage on this level in a long time.
While many Human Resources departments attempt to handle outplacement themselves, it is often much easier to hand it off to an external company to do.
We use popular review site Trust Pilot for our customer testimonials. Below is a small selection from some of our wonderful clients, without whom we would not be here today.

From the moment that you realise there are going to be job losses, you should begin planning to put outplacement support in place. Once the affected employees have been informed that they are being terminated or made redundant, they should be able to access the outplacement service immediately.
It is important to impress upon them the usefulness of the service as they may not really be hearing too much of what is said through the fog of worry from their current predicament.
Yes, outplacement is a perk that is supplied by the company as part of the overall employment package that the employee has with them. Most employees would feel that it was adding insult to injury if they were asked to pay for outplacement as well as losing their job. Allowing the employer to pay for the outplacement service means that the employee is getting one final thing of value before they leave the company.
It used to be that outplacement was almost exclusively used at the executive level but in recent years the use has been broadened significantly as it is considered a tangible employee benefit in an ever-changing workplace and economy. Offering outplacement support has now become a sign that you are a responsible employer, and many thousands of employers are now using it. It is an integral part of the employee lifecycle now and this is a change for the better in terms of employee working conditions.
