Description
Summary:The paper focuses on outplacement as a concrete form (demonstration) of social responsibility and industrial enterprises sustainable management. The practice shows that businesses often face various problems regarding the lack of professional staff, lack of skills or skills in a particular area, or a surplus of necessary staff. With every situation, the company management needs to cope to ensure the sustainability, competitiveness or the business survival. The research study presented in the paper focused on the current state of need for redundancies, awareness of outplacement options and interest in these programs in case of redundancies. In addressing the issue, age diversity was also taken into consideration with regard to individual generations of employees on the labour market. The outplacement programs provide the enterprise management which has to make redundancies such services or support to redundant employees to enable them to actively seek work. However, the low use of such a form of support for outgoing employees causes low awareness of this possibility, whether by employers or employees themselves. The provision of outplacement services enables the enterprise to demonstrate a sustainable commitment to employee care even in the difficult situations in which the enterprise is set and to maintain the morale of the remaining employees, preserve goodwill and, if necessary, re-engage with former employees. The solved research problem presented in the paper was defined by setting the main research goal and defining research questions. The research results are interpreted through descriptive statistics quantitative methods.
