Outplacement and Career Transitions

The uncertainty of the labour market often results in organizations restructuring by “downsizing” or “rightsizing” their employees. Regardless of the terms used for this process, the truth is that employees are losing their jobs as organizations reduce work force, transfer operations overseas or restructure to improve earnings. The result is often significant employee layoffs. Organizations may rely on internal or external career management professionals to assist with planning the layoffs, providing support to impacted employees (those losing their jobs and also the “survivors” who have been left behind), and providing transition or outplacement services. This course will explore the specific challenges of working within the field of outplacement or career transitions and highlight the great sensitivity required by people who do this work.
