An unfortunate circumstance of outplacement is that many companies often treat it as a bargaining chip, offering it up as leverage for after the departing staff has agreed to all of the terms of separation. This can have adverse effects on both the employee and the organisation.

Highlighting the value of employee growth is a major motivator during a transitionary period. This is why many outplacement companies focus on providing job coaching services that are tailored to the needs and goals of the employee.

Outplacement support is a career transition service that is designed to help employees make a successful career change as efficiently as possible in the event of a lay-off or job loss. These services are usually contracted by the employer who is responsible for letting go of the employee.
Good outplacement services focus on helping an employee develop and refine their own personal brand. These services may include counselling or advise sessions that are designed to help employees market themselves upon re-entering the job market.
As some laid-off employees might be unfamiliar with the latest trends in the world of job searching (especially if they’ve been employed by the same company for a long time), these services also sometimes offer job searching techniques.
Not just limited to helping transitioning employees develop resumes and cover letters, outplacement services can also help connect employees with potential job leads.
