What possible alternatives do the managers and HR have in handling this scenario? If no other attractive options exist and they must depart in two days, what kinds of assistance can the plant give the newly unemployed workers? Given the financial restrictions, is outplacement assistance a possibility?

The problem with outplacement assistance is that the firm hardly has the financial resources to give the workers any additional temporary assistance, and it is looking to cut back workers and employment costs, not redirect the workers to new jobs within their field. Given the location of the plant it may be difficult for workers to look for jobs elsewhere within the community, and thus the transition process is likely to be hard, no matter what outplacement assistance they were given. Perhaps the best thing to do would be for the company to offer the workers some advice and aid for in filing for unemployment insurance, and direct them to channels in which they can explore new employment opportunities, perhaps through a temporary agency.


If this is not entirely satisfactory, directing the worker to sources of professional outplacement assistance that are not financed by the firm, but could provide many of the same services, such as resume building, job search resources, and other career transition services might be one option. Local community colleges may have career service centers that could give workers some of these benefits, and also might provide a way for workers to become educated in new fields that might make them more employable in the future. While outplacement assistance may be effective with higher-level managers, for workers with less marketable degrees and skills, attempting to reconfigure their career path might require a more extensive plan than can be provided through corporate financed, traditional outplacement counseling.
