Outplacement

The term was originally coined 30 years ago in the US to describe the activities put in place to assist separated employees in coping with the pressures of termination, while helping them to seek new employment.

Organisations have increasingly recognised the importance of providing help to reduce the trauma of redundancy for both departing employees and those who remain.
