Benefits to the Employer Outplacement services can make the termination process easier to implement - it allows changes to be made in a professional and humane manner. Statistics have shown that discrimination litigation can be dramatically reduced by consistent and fair termination practices that include Outplacement Benefits. Anger towards an employer lessens when transition support has been provided. Outplacement assists in improving post-employment relations which can reduce the disclosure of "trade secrets" and adverse publicity by former employees. Providing transition assistance to a displaced employee is a good business decision for companies who want to be seen in a positive way by their remaining employees, their customers, the community and future recruits.

Benefits to the Displaced Employee Outplacement support reduces emotional confusion associated with loss of a job, helps to promote understanding and acceptance of employer's decisions and allows the displaced employee to more quickly move forward into the job search process. While severance dollars can help financially in the short-term, outplacement enables the employee to successfully take practical steps towards replacing their income on a more permanent basis. Outplacement programs can help the employee evaluate their career, find clear direction and create a strategic plan for the future. Outplacement services can result in significantly reduced time-to-placement.
