Outplacement
Outplacement can be the way to find a new job faster when your current job is threatened with layoff. We explain to you what outplacement is, when it is needed and who pays for it.
What is outplacement?
Outplacement is guiding the employee to a new job or possibly self-employment. 35 years ago outplacement made its appearance in the United States, then was introduced to the Netherlands. Since the advent of severance/transition compensation, outplacement has only grown more.
When is it necessary to start an outplacement process?
The reason for an outplacement program is dismissal. This can be due to reorganization or because the employer and employee do not want to continue with each other. During outplacement, the employee receives advice and often finds a new job faster. The right to outplacement of the employee is often recorded in a social plan or dissolution agreement.
Who pays for the outplacement process?
Since the introduction of transition compensation, a dismissed employee is given a sum of money intended to facilitate the transition to another job. Outplacement can of course be paid from this sum of money.
Although it may be tempting to pay for a new car or a vacation with this amount, this is not always wise. In fact, an outplacement program pays for itself by helping you find a new job faster.
