Does your organization need outplacement support?
If any of the following apply, career transition services can protect your organization and support your employees:
- You are planning a layoff, restructuring, or position elimination
- You are terminating an employee and want to reduce legal and reputational risk
- You want to fulfil your obligations under Quebec’s collective dismissal provisions
- You are committed to treating departing employees with dignity and respect
- You want to protect your employer brand and the morale of the employees who remain
- You are a smaller organization without internal HR resources to manage the transition
Providing outplacement support is not just the right thing to do. It is also a measurable business decision: organizations that support departing employees reduce litigation risk, strengthen their reputation, and maintain the trust of their remaining team.

Common Questions About Career Transition and Outplacement in Quebec
What is the difference between outplacement and career transition? They refer to the same service. Outplacement is the term typically used by organizations providing the service to departing employees. Career transition describes the experience from the individual’s perspective. We use both terms because we work with both audiences.
Is outplacement required by law in Quebec? For collective dismissals involving a certain number of employees, Quebec’s Act Respecting Labour Standards imposes specific obligations, including notice periods and, in some cases, support measures. Even for individual terminations, providing outplacement support significantly reduces the risk of legal complaints and demonstrates good faith on the part of the employer.
Can an individual access career transition services without employer support? Yes. While many of our programs are initiated by organizations on behalf of departing employees, we also work directly with individuals who are funding their own transition support.
How long does a career transition program last? Program length depends on the individual’s career level, goals, and situation. Programs typically range from four weeks to several months. We focus on outcomes, not session counts.
Do you offer services in French? Absolutely. All services are available fully in French, fully in English, or in both languages depending on the individual’s preference.
How much does outplacement support cost? Every mandate is different. We discuss scope and investment transparently before any program begins. Contact us for a free consultation and we will provide a realistic estimate based on your situation.
What industries do you serve? We work with organizations and individuals across all industries and sectors. Our expertise is in the Quebec and Canadian employment market, not in any one vertical.
