Introducing the Essential Guide to Outplacement

Is it possible to show employees you care about them—even during layoffs? Can your company let go of employees—without triggering angry reviews on Glassdoor? How do you protect your brand reputation—in the midst of a reduction-in-force? These types of questions may seem difficult to answer, because downsizing your workforce is never an easy task. Companies have to make tough decisions and let go of employees who are genuinely valued by the organization and its people, while those employees may feel unappreciated or abandoned by the companies they had worked for. 

Still, companies can provide a softer landing and a more positive offboarding experience for departing employees by offering an important service: Outplacement. This guide provides an in-depth primer on outplacement: What it is, how it benefits both employees and companies, and which factors to consider when selecting services for your company.
