Outplacement for international employees: the essentials
Expatriation often rhymes with adventure, challenge and success. Nevertheless, sometimes the adventure is short-lived and the employee is faced with the task of finding another position – sometimes within the same company, but more often in another organization. And in this case, what are the risks and resources for expats? How can they rapidly get back on their desired career path? Support is essential for international employees in these situations for taking a step back, assessing their skills, reconnecting with their network and the job market, learning to build on their strengths, and moving forward towards new horizons.
What international assignees in outplacement have said
Gilles
In outplacement after 15 years of expatriation
“After more than 15 years of expatriation and 20 years of good and loyal services, I was fired… a very big shock. My coach helped me find the motivation to re-enter the job market despite this great disappointment, and to open my eyes to other opportunities that awaited me.”
Candice, expatriate for 6 years
"I didn't necessarily want to leave my job, but following a restructuring I was forced to do so. With this program I was able to mourn my old job, boost my self-esteem, and prepare my new job applications."
Olivier, back in France
"My branch closed down last year and I had to return to France quickly but without a specific role in the company. It had been almost 10 years since I had worked in France and I didn't know the codes anymore, I didn't have a network in France. Outplacement got me back on track!"
Philippe, back from the United States
"I didn't realize I was so out of touch with the market. At first, I thought my search would be easy, my background seemed attractive enough. But in fact, my profile did not "fit." Thanks to my coach, I was able to adjust to the expectations of the French market."
Objectives of the "Outplacement for international assignees" program
1. Take a step back to clarify objectives (by first mourning the loss of your previous position), structure your thoughts and support your reflection.
2. Carry out a skills assessment*: analyze personal and professional skills, aptitudes and motivations, define a professional plan and, if necessary, a training plan, using assets as a negotiating tool for job, training, or career development.
3. Use the tools and exercises of the program to implement a research strategy: define an action plan, work on communication tools, identify and develop your network, position yourself on the market.
Modes that adapt to the needs of international assignees
This program is designed for international employees who need to look for a new position within or outside of their current company.
A discussion between the employee and the Expat Communication staff allows us to select a coach from our Coach Academy that best meets his or her professional field of expertise and the targeted countries.
The program then takes place in the form of individual support modules (30 hours over 3 to 12 months).
Sessions can take place in person or online.
