MIPC offers superior Outplacement Services.  Outplacement is a benefit that serves.  It is a benefit that companies offer their displaced workers, as a stand-alone benefit or part of a separation package that includes severance pay, vacation pay, health insurance coverage and other benefits.  Companies hire an outside firm like Make It Plain Consulting for several reasons:

• The Bottom Line
  Budgeting for outplacement as part of the separation package makes good business sense. It is as essential as offering some form of severance, and can directly impact the bottom line. It decreases the amount of time workers obtain unemployment pay, and reduces the potential for lawsuits.
• Reputation and Public Image
  Outplacement helps promote the company's image as a good corporate citizen, and decreases the cost of turnover among remaining employees. Providing outplacement demonstrates to the community that the company values its human capital.
• Decrease the Potential for Lawsuits
  Angry employees sue. Offering outplacement can diminish the resentment, hurt and anger many laid off workers feel. By offering a structure that is focused on moving forward, workers have less time to fret and vent about the company and its perceived treatment of them.
• Reduce Overlooked Costs
  Small business are significantly impacted by unemployment benefit costs (most states give 26 weeks of unemployment benefits).  Productivity by remaining employees suffers because of the fear of "being next".  A bad public and industry reputation can be extremely damaging to a small business.
