Individual outplacement
Is an employee no longer in the right place? That quickly impacts motivation, productivity, and the whole team.
An individual outplacement program then offers a suitable solution. With customized and personal guidance, we help the employee take steps toward a new position that truly fits, outside the organization.
This is valuable not only for the employee but also ensures a careful and positive conclusion for your organization.
An individual outplacement program for your employee
In an individual outplacement program, not only the
situation of the employee is central, but there is also attention to
personal preferences and ambitions. MEPD offers tailor-made support, where the employee is supported in the search for a new, suitable position with another employer.
During an individual outplacement program, the wishes of the employee are combined with the opportunities on the labor market. The goal is always to find a job that perfectly matches the employee’s talents and preferences. The results can sometimes be surprising, but for us, nothing is unexpected anymore.
Our approach to outplacement
With individual outplacement, everything centers on the employee. From processing the layoff to finding a new job and learning to apply for jobs again. That’s why our program is tailor-made. Depending on the wishes and needs of the employee, we work through the following phases, possibly in a different order.
Our working method aligns with the broader outplacement program we offer within the tech and manufacturing industry.
1. Customized conversation
- Personal conversation to map out your situation and needs.
- Discussing what you need to be successful in this process.
- Option to bring a partner (two hear more than one).
- Flexible and tailor-made guidance.
2. Working together on your career
- ‘Applying for jobs’ workshops (optional).
- Needs analysis to gain insight into your opportunities.
- Use of tests and assessments for targeted development advice.
- Assistance with drafting your CV and cover letter and preparing for job interviews.
- Coaching and support in searching for vacancies.
- Access to an online job portal and participant environment.
- Smart use of AI and job search tools.
- Support with UWV-related matters (if desired).
3. Completion of outplacement and aftercare
- Support with contract negotiations and salary check.
- Return guarantee: if your new contract ends, we help you again in finding a job.
At MEPD, we believe a solid foundation is very important. That’s why in the outplacement program, we start with processing and acceptance. Our career coach helps the employee cope with changes and supports them in accepting the loss of their job. After that, we look at the individual’s unique qualities and possibilities.
The advisor conducts a thorough analysis of personal qualities and motivations. As soon as this is clear, orientation to the labor market starts and application training can begin. Our career coach helps the employee present themselves optimally and ensures that his/her qualities stand out during a job interview. Curious about the possibilities at MEPD?

People at the center
Our career coaches are specialists in guiding people through difficult times. During the individual outplacement process, they proactively focus on the person, because ultimately, it’s about his or her success.
The current job market and the technical and manufacturing sectors are familiar territory. We speak the language of your industry and know the different roles and departments.
In an individual program, it may be that an employee is no longer in the right place. This creates an untenable situation for both employer and employee. An individual outplacement program offers both support and a solution. Collective outplacement applies when you have to let go of multiple employees, for example, due to a reorganization. With collective outplacement, multiple employees are collectively guided to a new job.
During the program we use various additional tests. Think of career tests such as a competency test, career choice test, and work values test. These tests are part of your program and we do not charge extra for them. We also offer a career scan or talent analysis as an addition.
In an individual outplacement program, alongside attention to your employee’s circumstances, there is explicit space for personal preferences. MEPD guides the employee in their search for a new role with another employer. A personal outplacement program looks at the employee’s wishes and the possibilities. The goal is always to find a new, well-fitting position. Sometimes the results are very surprising. At MEPD, nothing surprises us anymore.
