The main goals of our outplacement consulting are:

• Avoidance or reduction of internal and external image losses among employees and as a potential employer (employer branding).
• Avoidance of false interpretations, rumours and other negative group dynamic developments.
• Reduction of motivation and performance losses among those leaving the company and those who continue to be employed.
• Avoidance of frictional losses at the workplace during the remaining term of the employment relationship.
• Assuming social responsibility towards departing employees: consensual, fair and socially responsible separation of employees as well as help for self-help for professional reorientation.
• Avoidance or reduction of legal disputes in the separation process.
• Reduction of costs for the separation process.
• Positive effect and "reassurance" of business partners (customers, suppliers, cooperation partners, etc.)

The success of Outplacement & Consulting is often influenced by the following factors:

Time

Strategic business decisions do not usually come out of the blue. The more time an affected person has until dismissal, the less pressure he or she has. In addition, an applicant who applies for a job from within a company has better chances than a job seeker.

Transparency

How the decision to part with employees for operational reasons is received depends largely on the comprehensibility − figures, data and facts − of the decision taken.

Holistic Approach

Change processes are complex and are often perceived as unpleasant and threatening not only by those directly affected. The effects on remaining employees, customers, suppliers, cooperation partners and on the image of the company must also be taken into account.

Communication Design

Personnel separation is a management task. In this respect, managers should be involved in the outplacement process as soon as possible. This leads to avoidable irritation among those affected internally and externally.

Concreteness

The most important messages should be clearly formulated so that there is no room for misinterpretation, rumours and other negative group dynamic developments.

Fairness and Appreciation

The fairer and more appreciative an outplacement process is, the more sustainable the measures will be for the employees concerned and the company. Even in a crisis situation, win-win effects can be achieved.

Expertise of the Consultants

One quality criterion for outplacement consulting is the expertise of the consultants. With us as consultants, you receive, among other things, career knowledge, professional coaching, diagnostic skills, networks, industry know-how, as well as goal and success orientation and individual solutions.

Acceptance of the Consulting

In professional reorientation, there must be a considerable degree of openness in the joint work between affected persons and counsellors. In this respect, confidentiality and trust is an essential prerequisite for the acceptance of our consulting services.

Staff redundancies through staff reductions are associated with the termination or termination of employment contracts. Decisive for the extent of the consequences of separation measures − on corporate culture, image, motivation, trust, costs, success, etc. − is the subjective feeling about fair or unfair staff reductions. With a professional separation management, which is supported by Out- or Newplacement, positive effects can be achieved.
