Who receives Outplacement support?
Executive and managers are the usual recipients: Executives, because they know how to negotiate a severance package and managers, because someone else (the HR professional) is knowledgeable about severance packages. EVEYONE in a job transition needs outplacement support! No matter what level of employment, people weren’t born knowing how to job search. The methods are instinctive but the techniques are not. The curriculum is extensive and distilled down from hundreds of thousands of successful job searches. A flawed idea says, “Only the GOOD employee gets Outplacement and the BAD employee doesn’t receive Outplacement”. The employer benefits when they provide outplacement to either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ employee: Getting the BAD employee out the door and moved on quickly. If they were a problem when they worked there, they will probably be more of a problem if you fire them.
