Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SourceCodes Inc. has used outplacement counseling in this scenario. If an employee who has been discharged feels there is nothing to lose and nowhere else to turn, the potential for violence or a lawsuit is greater than most organizations are willing to tolerate. Through outplacement counseling, organizations also may address ongoing poor performance with discussions about whether the employee is a good fit for the current job. Rather than simply firing the poor performer, the supervisor may encourage this person to think about leaving the company on his or her own.
