So, What Are Outplacement Services, Exactly?
If you aren’t entirely sure what outplacement services are, who they’re for, and why they’re important, you aren’t alone.
Outplacement is an often-misunderstood concept, perhaps because it’s a relatively new practice compared to other aspects of business. Its origins lie in military veteran service transition and programs developed following World War II that sought to help exiting service members prepare for, find, and win jobs in the civilian sector. Throughout the decades that followed, outplacement grew to become a $2 billion industry, supporting exiting employees from all industries and roles to ease career transition and accelerate the job search process.
In this article, we address some of the most common questions around outplacement services so you can make the most informed decision for your company’s needs.
