Outplacement/Redundancy Counselling: IS IT REALLY COUNSELLING?
Abstract
Draws distinction between the use of counselling skills, being a professional counsellor, and using professional counselling as one role among others, as a way of isolating the counselling content of outplacement consultancy. A matrix connecting five teaching strategies with five client needs is offered to clarify the role of counselling in outplacement work and as a possible training model for outplacement counsellors. Counselling is viewed as an essential component of good practice within outplacement agencies and can be utilized to help clients to work through their personal reactions to a number of areas connected to job‐loss.
