Outplacement, hope for the unemployed?

Before I learned about outplacement, prejudice filled me in mind. Here's an example: This is the story of an employee who has spent his life in the same company and suddenly, there he is with his cards in a bus in the direction of his miserable home. Too weak to fight and recover, this man will prefer to leave every morning like a well oiled machine in an office paid for by his former company. Arriving always at the same time, it will introduce her coat on the back of his chair taupe and will resume as before the 9:36 coffee. Unable to cope with what life has in store for him, he will choose the option to remain in his fiction, or rather in his past reality.

Sapiance HR is very involved in outplacement, you will understand that the photograph above could reflect reality. Far from being a virtual assistance to victims of the life, I invite you to discover the true definition of the term.

Outplacement: Definition and objectives

It can support people in breach of contract for both professional development and ensure its repositioning on the labor market in an optimal way.

Two types of actions should be distinguished:

The individual outplacement, customized for the repositioning of managers and executives generally have been a departure individually negotiated with their former employer.

The outplacement group, which usually follows a collective dismissal for all employees covered by this dismissal, regardless of their occupational group.

Outplacement has 9 main objectives:

Identify its strengths and clarify their career plans, quickly understand their target market, find emotional support, participate in group work, expanding its network, enjoy a host structure and logistics professional to its communication written and oral relevant and compelling, successful negotiation of its new labor contract, recover more quickly fulfilling responsibilities.

Although the process is different from an outplacement firm to another, four key periods can be defined:

A phase of documentation, a development phase of the action plan, a phase of implementation of the TRE (job search techniques), a negotiation phase of the new contract.

Used on the side

A job for life
When we worked a long time in the same company, it is clear that the departure can be painful. The benchmarks that were your own collapse overnight to make way for a possible period of doubt and questioning. Outplacement can be a solution to give you the means to bounce back in your life. Although the vast majority of people receiving outplacement between 5 and 15 years of age, must still be noted that more and more people with less than 5 years of benefit.

My network ... it's my friends!
In the event that your network is not very developed, it may be difficult psychologically to start from scratch after years of loyal service. Even with a good self-esteem, the mind may suffer.

A life restored
A study by the outplacement firm Right Management, the majority of candidates (61.3%) who have found jobs receive a wage equivalent to the previous and this despite the crisis.

83% of applicants find a job within 12 months, 44% of them in less than 6 months and finally 26% of recipients within 4 months. It is time to remove from our mind the parallel between "outplacement" and "long period".

Below you can find a video director of outplacement firm that offers a definition of its business:

Definition of outplacement

Side of the business

Outplacement generally allows the company to dramatize situations of rupture, to maintain a social role and re-engage remaining employees more easily.

Regarding the cost of outplacement is the company that pays. However, it may deduct a portion of that expense by reducing the redundancy of the future outplacement. All played in the negotiation.

In conclusion, outplacement is a "win-win" between the company can preserve its role and societal or young graduates or future outplacement who may benefit from psychological support and resources to optimize their research to employment. Of course, Outplacement is not for everyone. A person accustomed to during his career change jobs, benefiting from a large network and a good self-esteem rather outplacement interest to refuse and accept a check for more consistent starting.
