Avoiding
Legal Problems
Terminated employees who speak with Outplacement counselors about future career
opportunities are not speaking with lawyers about how unfairly they were treated.
Experience proves that discrimination claims can be eliminated through professional
counseling directed toward future career success. |

Maintaining a Responsible
External Image
Negative reactions to termination can affect the company's image for years. Employees
who are treated fairly when terminated do not usually speak in public or to various forms
of media about how bad the company was to them. Outplacement reinforces a positive view of
the company by employees and the community. |
Preserving the Goodwill of
Terminated Employees
Maintaining excellent relationships with terminated employees, who may later place in
positions within a client company or another company which can affect future business of
the company, ensures that future business dealings with them are positive. |

Improving Retention
and Recruitment
Employees who stay with the company are sensitive to how terminations are handled. Once
a company has the image of treating people poorly, it becomes extremely difficult to
retain current talent, maintain productivity and to obtain new talent. |
Facilitating Manpower
and Succession Planning
Outplacement can free management to make decisions in a more timely manner about
individuals who are "bottlenecking" the organization and blocking "fast
trackers." |
|
Improving Morale
and Productivity
Lack of success in an organization is a shared responsibility. Providing Outplacement
shows that the company has a "conscience" and demonstrates to remaining
employees that they are valued. |
