Outplacement – Supporting your company in times of change

Goal-oriented coaching service for employee transitions

Are the legal requirements related to outplacement in your company up to date?

Following a legal amendment in 2017, employers with more than 30 employees are required to provide outplacement coaching for employees who are dismissed for production-related or financial reasons and have been continuously employed by the company for at least five years. Employees over the age of 55 are entitled to extended outplacement support.

Employment Contracts Act: chapter 7, § 13–14

The purpose of the outplacement:

  • Mitigates the impact of layoffs
  • Facilitates employees’ re-employment
  • Improves the termination process within the company

It is essential to prepare for transition situations in advance. Y4 Works’ coaching service ensures that your company has the best tools and strong support to navigate change when needed.

Successfully executed transition processes supports laid-off employees in continuing their careers while maintaining a positive corporate image. They create a foundation for business continuity and future growth.

What does our outplacement support include?

Our outplacement coaching consists of group training, individual coaching, and goal-oriented, self-directed modules. We provide participants with a modern online training platform, a job-seeking community, and weekly workshops that enhance job search skills and career planning expertise.
Additional services can be integrated into the coaching, such as suitability assessments, personalized hidden job market searches, and meetings with recruitment experts or business advisors.

Unlike traditional outplacement services, we offer a human-centered and active coaching approach, providing practical tools and radically impactful job search support to help individuals transition into new careers.

We do not seek quick wins but rather real, tailored solutions for those we coach. We walk alongside them for a longer journey until they find a suitable work place. We take action within 24 hours of notification.

We talk less and do more. We provide concrete support for job searching and career direction through practical assignments.

The coaching is based on collaboration,
a safe and individual-centered coaching experience. We encourage our clients to engage in open discussions, mutual sharing, and networking.

Seamless implementation

Our service implementation is effortless. We establish a framework agreement in advance, allowing the service to be initiated as needed. In a transition situation, the company provides us with the contact details of the employees being laid off, and we reach out to them within the same day. We coordinate an initial meeting with participants and define the framework for implementation. Billing is based on the number of users who have started the service. Pricing is legally determined according to the monthly salary of the coached employee.

After the coaching program, participants have:

Found employment
%
Continued job searching
%
Transitioned to studies
%
Chosen another path (entrepreneurship, retirement, etc.)
%

We tailor the final content and implementation of the outplacement support to match company-specific needs and participant preferences.

Based on the situational assessment, the coaching themes may include job searching, career planning, entrepreneurship, service guidance, transition situations, or workplace development. In addition to personalized career coaching for laid-off employees, we also provide training programs for managing transition situations and supporting employees who remain with the company.

Without your encouragement, I would probably still be unemployed. I am especially grateful that, based on my own experience, I have been able to warmly recommend your coaching to many of my clients who feel that their biggest challenge is not so much their skills but rather presenting them confidently.

Listening to your highly inspiring and professional coaches was a pleasure. They all had great presentation skills and a calm approach to answering questions precisely. Equal treatment for everyone. A gentle push worked well for me. Approachable and easy-to-talk-to people. Thank you!

This coaching program stood out remarkably in its excellence compared to other trainings I have attended during my periods of short-term unemployment!
