Outplacement as Part of Human Resource Management

The paper is focused on the issue of outplacement primarily due to the fact that although every employed person statistically encounters dismissals, awareness of the process, procedure and importance of outplacement is marginal in organisations in both the Slovak Republic and Czech Republic. A dismissed employee is only perceived as something unnecessary which needs to be got rid of as quickly and as cheaply as possible while observing legal regulations. Unfortunately, organisations do not realise the secondary consequences of such behaviour. Our paper will present the reasons of organisations to carry out outplacement, their focus on it and the frequency of outplacement process. The scope of outplacement in organisations operating in the Slovak Republic and Czech Republic, which was determined by means of a questionnaire survey in 2014, will also be dealt with.
