Outplacement
Intensive advisory service by coaches for employees leaving a company.
When a company must separate from an important employee, this often leads to a conflict. Outplacement can be a solution. Your employee will be supported by a professional coach in repositioning and looking for a new job. Finding Heads Outplacement means: A professional coach on behalf of the old employer helps the departing client to find a new employer. The advice includes, among other things, determining your position, developing a self-marketing strategy and support with the new application process.
External placement/outplacement is often being used for departing top managers and other executives. The costs for the outplacement process is usually taken over by the former employer. In this way, an amicable separation can be achieved between both parties, which goes beyond a mere severance payment.
