NEW SURVEYS RECOMMEND EVERY COMPANY PROVIDE OUTPLACEMENT BENEFITS –
- A recent Mercer Survey reported that only 44% of organizations provide outplacement services to individuals who transition out of their organization.
- A Harris Poll reported that 83% of Americans said offering outplacement services to laid-off employees would improve their opinion of the organization.

WHY OUTPLACEMENT IS THE BENEFIT EMPLOYEES NEED MOST WHEN THEY LOSE THEIR JOB –
By providing outplacement services, it is our experience that large and small organizations can protect and enhance their culture and brand reputation with existing and departing employees by demonstrating that the organization cares about its people, even beyond their employment with the organization.
By providing a quality outplacement service, the organization is providing a benefit that includes a Certified Personal Career Coach, who helps ensure the individual can deal with the stress of losing their job and helps set the job search on the right track.
THE OUTPLACEMENT FIRM TO USE –
In the future, make certain your organization includes outplacement with a Certified Personal Career Coach as part of the severance package for all individuals being transitioned out of the organization.
