Document background
The Outplacement Services Agreement is essential for organizations undertaking workforce restructuring or individual employee transitions in Canada. This document formalizes the relationship between a professional outplacement services provider and an employer, ensuring departing employees receive appropriate career transition support. It addresses critical aspects such as service scope, confidentiality, data protection, and compliance with Canadian employment standards and privacy laws. The agreement is particularly relevant in situations involving redundancies, organizational restructuring, or individual terminations where professional transition support is part of the severance package. It helps organizations maintain their employer brand while fulfilling their duty of care to departing employees.
