The secret world of outplacement consulting – background and practical knowledge
Outplacement counseling has been around in Germany for more than 40 years, but hardly anyone knows anything about it. What is it anyway? Who invented this service? How has it developed and where is it now? Who is it suitable for? And what are the benefits?
The new book by omegaconsulting partner Dr. Cornelia Riechers “OUTPLACEMENTintern. 40 Years of Outplacement Consulting in Germany” tells the story of outplacement consulting in Germany from its beginnings to the present day. Packaged in reader-friendly morsels, it deals with market development, professional associations, the “founding fathers”, outplacement in science and specialist books on the subject. The figures, data, facts and background information from 40 years are spiced up with exclusive insider knowledge from Cornelia Riechers’ sewing box.
The second part examines the practical application of outplacement counseling. Clients and job seekers receive information and tips on what to look out for and what they themselves can contribute to the success of outplacement counseling. Authentic testimonials from former clients show how outplacement can act as a driver and catalyst to open up new paths.
The appendix of the book contains the current quality standards for outplacement consulting of the Federal Association of German Management Consultants (BDU), which also guide us at omegaconsulting as a BDU member.
