Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Outplacement counseling is a program that provides support and assistance to employees who are leaving the organization due to downsizing, restructuring, or any other reason. This program helps the employees in finding a new job by providing coaching, resume writing, interview preparation, and networking support. By providing outplacement counseling, the company can show its concern for the exiting employees, improve their retention rates, and avoid any potential lawsuits that might arise due to unhappy employees. The other options such as employee assistance program, benchmarking, progressive disciplining program, and expatriation may not directly address the issue of exit management and may not prevent litigation from unhappy employees.
