Why Outplacement Services Matter

In today’s rapidly changing job market, layoffs and transitions are sometimes an unavoidable reality for many businesses. How these transitions are managed can significantly impact both the departing employees and the company's reputation. According to a report by the International Association for Employment Professionals , organizations that offer outplacement services see a 30% reduction in the negative perspectives around company morale and brand image compared to those that do not.

Outplacement services provide departing employees essential support during a critical time. Research from Intoo,  highlights that 85% of individuals who receive outplacement services secure new employment within six months, compared to only 60% of those who do not. This difference underscores the profound impact that structured, supportive transition services can have on career outcomes.

The Benefits for Employers

Offering outplacement services not only benefits departing employees but also serves as a strategic advantage for employers. A study by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) showed that companies that invest in outplacement services experience a 22% decrease in the likelihood of negative employee reviews and a 25% improvement in overall company reputation. The results of these studies are a clear indicator that supporting employees through transitions can enhance your organization's standing and foster a positive work environment.

Providing outplacement services can also help maintain employee morale and engagement among those who remain with the company – it can remedy the prevalence of “survivor’s guilt.” When employees see their organization investing in the well-being of departing colleagues, it reinforces a culture of care and respect, which can boost overall employee satisfaction and loyalty.
