description: Outplacement, the sponsored career counselling of ex-employees, is a rapidly-growing industry in the USA, the UK and other parts of Europe (most notably France). The study of the subject provides insights into the changing concepts of careers and shows how change is being managed in organizations at the personal level. Drawing upon their own primary research on outplacement and redundancy packages, Professor Tyson and Noleen Doherty show how the outplacement industry can be a useful and adaptable management tool for companies undergoing change. This book looks at all the wide-ranging aspects of outplacement including: the growth of outplacement; career development and change; specific company policies on outplacement; examples of redundancy packages; client perceptions of outplacement; and the idea of transferable skills changing the nature of work.
