Outplacement FAQs
What is outplacement?
Outplacement is an employee benefit provided by a company to workers who have recently been laid off. The service involves employers helping their exiting employees to find new work and transition smoothly back into the workforce.
Generally, a company will enlist the help of an outplacement firm to deliver such niche services, including but not limited to career coaching, resume help, and job search support, to affected employees.
Although outplacement has always been used as a strategy to support employees, the way this service is provided has shifted significantly in recent years to meet companies’ changing needs.
When outplacement first emerged in the 1960s, companies typically offered career assistance primarily to executives and upper-level employees, providing them with a satellite office, phone and assistant to aid in looking for employment. Today, companies seek to offer outplacement not just to a select few, but to all affected employees across every level of an organization. The aim is to better protect brand reputation and support the employees who have historically been underserved in times of transition.
In addition, in today’s digital age, employees have come to expect convenience from any service they engage with, and outplacement is no different. Modern outplacement services can offer coaching and resources that are easily accessible and on-demand through the click of a button.
Outplacement services can be used by companies who are looking to downsize, thinking about restructuring or making layoffs for monetary reasons.
Summary:
- Outplacement is for employees who have been laid off
- The service can help them to find another job
- It can protect your brand reputation during difficult times, such as during layoffs
- It is for all employees at all levels of a business
How does outplacement work?
Outplacement services are a key part of building a supportive severance package. In addition to monetary and benefit components, these career transition services help guide your impacted employees forward to their next opportunity with personalized career coaching and complementary technology offering a wealth of job-seeker resources. Outplacement is provided by you as the employer and isn’t something your employees should look for independently.
INTOO offers a variety of programs to support employees based on their job level and needs. All of our coaching programs provide unlimited career coaching and innovative technology to help job seekers create a unique career transition plan, build their resume and cover letters, practice interviewing, negotiate their salary, and more.

What can job seekers expect from outplacement services?
Expert career coaching is the cornerstone of an impactful outplacement program. It is usually combined with resume writing and a technology platform with a wide selection of job seeker tools and resources to jumpstart individuals’ job search.
Why is outplacement important for employers?
Strengthen brand reputation
Layoffs are a vulnerable time for a brand. Exiting employees, if they feel they’ve been treated poorly, can publicly share their opinions about your company on Glassdoor and social media. In fact, INTOO’s Employer Branding Study found 66% of people choose to share their poor layoff experiences with others. Companies that don’t extend their brand values to exiting employees may see significant impact as they look to attract talent down the line. According to Glassdoor, 50% of potential candidates won’t apply to a company with a bad reputation1. Offering outplacement to departing employees and supporting them at a challenging time in their careers can help prevent online backlash. If laid-off workers feel that your company did its best to help them, you will be better able to mitigate long-term damage to your company’s reputation.Reduce impact to your bottom line
Brand reputation has a powerful effect on your bottom line. For one, a positive brand reputation attracts and retains customers, while a negative one repels them. Our Employer Branding Study found 64% of consumers have stopped purchasing from a brand after hearing news of that company’s poor employee treatment. Protecting your brand reputation with outplacement puts you in a better position to maintain and expand your customer base. Brand reputation also helps you save money when recruiting employees. Harvard Business Review reports that when a company has a poor reputation, new hires come at an additional cost of $4,723 each. Moreover, since outplacement allows you to retain better relationships with exiting employees, your company will be in a better position to attract “boomerang” employees—those who return to work for your company at a later date.Mitigate risk of litigation
Involuntary terminations carry the risk of litigation, which can bring both monetary and reputational repercussions. In recent years, retaliation claims have made up 53% of all charges filed by workers with EEOC2. Considering that 60-70% of all workplace lawsuits taken to litigation are lost by employers3, reducing this risk is imperative. Offering outplacement helps impacted employees move on from the event and look toward new opportunities. It is a gesture that sends the message that you care about your former employees’ well-being.Demonstrate a positive company culture
During and after a reduction in force, it is critical for businesses to foster a positive company culture to encourage the productivity and loyalty of remaining employees. When remaining employees witness the involuntary departure of colleagues whom they consider friends, demonstrating care for those exiting is crucial. One study found that layoffs impacting just 1% of the workforce will trigger a 31% increase in voluntary turnover, on average4. Additionally, it can cost 3x or even 4x a departing employee’s salary to hire a replacement5. When you consider the risks of not doing right by your employees, offering outplacement to laid-off employees is a highly cost-effective strategy to further your culture and retain remaining talent. When departing employees feel supported by your company—and can land new jobs through an effective outplacement program—the remaining employees will feel confident that your organization is truly interested in the long-term well-being of its people. 1Glassdoor 2McKinsey 3https://www.nonprofitrisk.org 4Harvard Business Review 5SHRMWhy is outplacement important for employees?

How do you compare outplacement vendors?
When comparing outplacement providers, be sure to ask vendors how much time your employees will have with their coach—both in a single session and over the course of their program—as this impacts an individual’s success and overall experience with an outplacement provider.
You’ll also want to know how quickly and when your employees will be able to access a coach, so that they don’t have to wait long for guidance. Immediate access to outplacement support also helps employees look forward to a meaningful career move, which can help preserve your employer brand during a challenging period.
Participants of INTOO Outplacement programs can immediately access coaches at the click of a button seven days a week, so that they can have crucial job search assistance within seconds, even on weekends.
