Definition of Outplacement Services:
Outplacement services are support programs offered to employees during layoffs, helping them
transition to new jobs through counseling, resume writing, and job placement assistance.
Why Outplacement Services are a Layoff Benefit:
These services mitigate the impact of job loss and maintain an organization’s reputation as a
responsible employer.

A . Medical insurance: A standard benefit, not specific to layoffs.
B . Individual counseling: May be part of outplacement services but not standalone as a layoff
benefit.
C . Corporate membership: Refers to perks, not benefits tied to layoffs.
