Role of Outplacement Counseling The first outplacement counseling was established in 1969 by a highly paid manager in the USA. When he lost his position completely unexpectedly, he created a consulting company for similar cases. In the beginning outplacement counseling was mainly reserved for top management staff, today it is used in all levels of hierarchy and is an important operational component practiced by more and more businesses.

Outplacement counseling begins after the decision of a company to disengage an employee and supports that employee on his/her way to a new position. A personal consultant of PAB HRConsulting supports the employee concerned during a very strenuous period of time, offering various types of assistance for his/her new occupational orientation. Outplacement counseling is by far the safest way to complete a release positively and normally halves the time required to search for and find a new position.

Demand-Oriented Support

Consulting services focus on personalities with different prerequisites and expectations. PAB HRConsulting therefore provides programs to suit the particular situation, with emphasis of the level of counseling varying from case to case. After initial analysis and conversations, counseling is focused on the required help. The employee gets reliable, professional and specific help exactly where this is required. Help starts with picking up an employee in a crisis followed by an analysis of his personal and occupational situation, as well as drawing up strategies. Further steps to ensure that the employee regains a firm foothold in the job market in the shortest time possible include developing suitable arguments, drawing up records required by our secretarial services, preparing for selection procedures by video training as well as searching the hidden job market.
