Several studies indicate that a new type of outplacement service is needed to assist employees in the 21st Century career marketplace. Why?
|
 |
The traditional outplacement model, which combines generic career advice with office space and telephone/secretarial assistance, is not effective. |
 |
Large outplacement firms are unable to offer customized services to clients with individual needs. |
 |
Many outplacement counselors lack business experience comparable to the people they are counseling.
|
The new outplacement model should:
|
 |
Focus on teaching executives new and creative ways to market themselves in the current job market. |
 |
Provide customized services that meet the individual needs of each client. |
 |
Utilize experienced counselors with skills comparable to the people they are counseling.
