Three ways outplacement supports your career management strategy

How can organisations integrate outplacement support into their career management strategy? The pandemic has changed the way that people view their careers, and how companies view hiring, training and transitioning employees. Yesterday’s outplacement designed solely as an exit strategy is being replaced with outplacement’s evolving role to build career mobility and make smarter decisions in a rapidly changing workforce: career transition management for the entire employee lifecycle.

Three ways outplacement helps you support all employees

The evolution of outplacement and its value in the new reality

How has outplacement support changed and what are employees expecting from their support in the new reality? In 2021, it’s predicted that 2.5m people will receive outplacement support; with 200,000 jobs having been lost to the pandemic in the UK alone.
