Saying goodbye to employees is never easy. Whether it’s a lay-off or a termination. Whether it’s one employee or one hundred employees. Deciding who and how to terminate an employee is never pleasant. The reality is it happens. Sometimes an employee just doesn’t work out, so you have to say goodbye. Or even worse you might have a fantastic employee but due to organizational restructure or budget cuts you are forced to say goodbye. Whatever the case might be it isn’t fun, and frankly it doesn’t get easier; but offering career outplacement services helps. It might seem counter-intuitive that a company looking to cut cost would spend money on an employee who is no longer with the company. But there are many reasons why offering a career outplacement service to departing employees is beneficial. Simply put, because it is the right thing to do.
