Separation Management

Respectful, transparent, and forward-looking. We support executive management, HR, leaders and employees by providing professional guidance throughout the separation process, building trust through clear communication, and offering effective newplacement and outplacement services.

How do we ensure fairness?

Through clear standards, documented conversations, voluntary support offerings, and transparent communication.

Do we need outplacement or newplacement?

Both are possible – depending on vacancies and employee profiles. We review internal opportunities before exploring external options.

How do we support those who remain?

Through early leader preparation, structured team dialogues and targeted quick wins that stabilise performance and engagement.

Why professional separation management?

Employee separations are among the most sensitive phases in any organisation, influencing people, culture, and employer reputation. Professional separation management ensures that the process is fair, transparent, and future-oriented. Our approach focuses on three goals: preserving dignity, minimising risks, and safeguarding employability.

For affected employees, this includes a structured assessment of their situation and clear follow-up options – internally or externally – keeping pathways open and ensuring smooth transitions.

For leaders and HR, professional separation management provides clarity and confidence through well-prepared decisions, respectful communication and targeted stabilisation of the remaining team. This protects productivity, know-how, and organisational culture.

Our understanding

We view separation management as the structured and effective design of separation processes within organisations. This includes clear communication, professionally conducted exit interviews, and targeted team and organisational stabilisation.

Retention management complements separation management and creates a holistic approach. It helps maintain employee engagement and performance, reduces turnover and preserves critical know-how. By addressing separation and retention together, we enable organisations to secure productivity, stabilise teams and strengthen their capacity to navigate change sustainably.
