Why should organizations provide outplacement services to displaced employees?
Its good business practice. It shows that they care about their employees and want to assist them even after they leave the company. This is often viewed as reciprocation for the value the employee has contributed in the past. Organizations who value their people provide outplacement as a continuation of other benefits, such as training, health care, retirement plans, and severance pay. Outplacement programs can help avoid lawsuits. By applying consistent, fair, and humane termination and severance practices a company helps people to work constructively and positively on pursuing a new career goal. This also helps companies to maintain a positive image with their current employees, their customers, the community, and future recruited employees.
