Abstract
In today?s changing economy,
downsizing has become a common
phenomenon. Organizations cannot
assure job-security to their
employees. Even if the organization
is forced to take a decision
to lay-off its employees, it can
provide some assistance, at least
when they are leaving the organization.
Outplacement i.e. helping
the outgoing employees in the
job search process goes a long
way in preserving the image of an
organization. The objective of
this paper is to understand the
importance of outplacement and
to explore to what extent this service
is provided in India and all
over the world. In addition to this,
the article also provides detailed
narrative of literature related to
outplacement and a compilation
of what possible outplacement
services could be offered as
against the misconception of providing
a job to those being forced
to leave the organization.
