Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Outplacement counseling is a program that helps exiting employees transition to new jobs, provides them with career counseling and helps them develop job-search skills. By offering this program, companies can improve the overall experience of exiting employees and avoid legal issues such as wrongful termination lawsuits. Employee assistance programs provide counseling to employees who are experiencing personal or work-related issues that may impact their productivity and performance but would not necessarily prevent job loss. Benchmarking involves comparing a company's performance against that of its peers in order to identify areas for improvement. Progressive disciplining program involves gradually escalating consequences for employees who exhibit poor performance or behavior. Expatriation involves sending employees to work in other countries. None of these programs directly address the issue of avoiding legal issues related to exiting employees.
