Outplacement Innovation: What to Expect

The way we work has fundamentally changed in 2020. Virtual jobs are now more of a norm and the practices that were once leaning towards digital have now fully converted, including outplacement and the job search. 

In 2021, outplacement will rely more heavily on a strong, tech-driven platform that helps participants further their job search no matter where they are or when they want to dive deeper. Understanding the shifts in the job market and how communication is now almost always handled through video conferencing tools also allows participants to get a leg up on the competition. 

All of these technologies will become (if they aren’t already) a standard piece of the outplacement process. However, the backbone of every great outplacement service is dedicated, one-on-one coaching, which pairs participants with a single coach who will be with them every step of the way from start to finish. 

Coaching, which has been delivered primarily through virtual means at Careerminds for over a decade, is the bread and butter of a great outplacement experience, especially when they work with participants until they land a new role - never abandoning them midway through.

Looking ahead, outplacement will soon feature machine learning, AI, and other next-gen technologies that are reshaping the way we work and live.
