Making change manageable. Guiding your people safely through career transitions.

When employees leave the company, it opens a phase where clarity and structure make all the difference. Outplacement helps you manage that transition transparently and give departing employees a realistic path to their next role.

When outplacement matters most for employers

Outplacement is especially valuable whenever change needs to be handled transparently and employees should be guided clearly into their next professional step.

Workforce reductions

Individual separations

Site closures

Social plan solutions

Organisational restructuring

Shifts within teams or departments that lead to role transitions

What outplacement makes easier for your company

Outplacement brings clarity to demanding periods of change and gives both employees and managers a framework they can rely on. It ensures clear steps, professional communication and a structured transition back into the job market. The result is stability for your organisation at exactly the moments when many things need managing at once. Common reasons companies choose it:

A structured approach to workforce change

Clear direction for the employees affected

Professional communication, both internally and externally

Support for managers in difficult conversations

Transparent processes that save time and resources

A realistic assessment of and preparation for the job market

You support your employees through a sensitive phase while strengthening the clarity and professionalism of your internal processes at the same time.

How we support employees through career transitions

Our guidance is grounded in what the job market actually demands. It helps departing employees make well-informed career decisions and navigate the application process with confidence.

Structuring a new direction

As a first step, we help employees take a systematic look at their professional experience, skills and goals. Together, we explore realistic career options and clarify which industry or role changes make sense. This creates a clear direction for the job market – one that provides orientation and shapes the rest of the process.

Building strong application skills

Next, we work on defining their personal positioning precisely and translating it into professional application documents – from the CV and skills profile through to cover letters. Online profiles such as LinkedIn or Xing are shaped to support the target role. Employees also learn how to interpret employer feedback constructively and use it for their own development.

Preparing for selection processes

Finally, we help employees build confidence for interviews, case studies and assessment formats. We develop clear lines of argument, rehearse typical interview situations and use feedback loops to sharpen their personal presentation skills. As a result, employees feel noticeably more self-assured throughout selection processes.

How we implement support for your company

Formats – individual, group or a combination

One-to-one sessions create space for personal questions and specific professional situations. Group formats work particularly well during larger changes, providing a structured setting for several employees at once. Both approaches can be combined flexibly whenever different roles or needs have to be taken into account.

Online, on-site or hybrid

Our support can take place fully online, in person or as a mix of both. This lets companies respond at short notice and choose whatever format works best organisationally. Every format follows the same structure, so the experience stays seamless throughout.

Guidance in six languages

Our support is available in German, English, Russian, Lithuanian, Spanish and Dutch – so you can support employees who need multilingual guidance or bring an international professional background.

Experience you can rely on

For more than 15 years, we've supported companies and their people through professional transitions. We understand the dynamics, the uncertainty and the organisational demands these situations bring – and we build our guidance consistently around them. Our approach is clearly structured, solution-focused and close to the real job market, so your employees gain direction and make reliable progress. What you can count on:

A team of more than 50 coaches who work with jobseekers every day and know today's job-market reality

The ability to start at short notice, when change arrives faster than planned

Significantly shorter transition times: on average, employees find a new position around three times faster

Close, personal collaboration with coachees

Stable, proven processes – even for larger groups
