Corporate Outplacement

Why You Should be Concerned with the Quality of Outplacement
Services Provided to Your Former Employees

A Wall Street Journal article, Outplacement Firms Struggle to Do the Job, captures the reason why your organization will want to evaluate the advantages we offer as a specialty firm with a dedication to each company and client we serve. The article states that outplacement providers “...increasingly offer standardized services, which some workers say offer little value.” The article states further that “Some industry participants, too, are troubled by reports of mass-produced résumés, canned job advice and slipshod counseling” Harry J. Martin, a management professor at Cleveland State University says, "One size doesn't fit all." Mr. Martin was co-author of a paper last year decrying "commodity outplacement" and urging more individual attention.

Clearly, large international firms utilizing a cookie-cutter approach demonstrate bigger is not better.

Why should you be concerned with the quality of services provided to your former employees? People talk. Many of your remaining employees will maintain contacts with former employees. This impacts their impression of the organization which inevitably is communicated to those they encounter, including suppliers and customers, creating completely preventable negative publicity.
