Letting go of employees is never easy—but how you support them through that transition says everything about your company. Traditional outplacement services like Lee Hecht Harrison, or LHH, help ease the blow, but they often come with high costs and limited reach. If you're looking for a better, more future-focused solution, it's time to consider a new approach.
pepelwerk, a talent development marketplace, offers an AI-powered Career Assistant designed to provide lifelong support, predictive data and on-demand resources for talent in transition—without the high cost of traditional programs.
Organizations Can Support Outplaced Employees and Maintain a Positive Brand
Organizations facing workforce changes are searching for effective, compassionate ways to support departing employees—while also protecting their brand and bottom line. The right solution provides more than a resume update or a one-time coaching session. It prepares people for their next move with tools they can actually use.
Here’s what businesses are really looking for:
- Outplacement solutions that are cost-effective and easy to scale.
- Tools that offer more than just temporary career coaching.
Support that helps people find meaningful next steps, not just jobs.
A Better Way to Offer Career Support
With pepelwerk’s AI Career Assistant, you’re offering more than a service—you’re giving your people access to lifelong, personalized career guidance. From skills assessments to job matching, course recommendations and interview prep, it’s a full suite of tools that meet each user where they are and help them get where they want to go.
And because it’s always available on-demand, people can use it when they need it most—on their schedule, at their pace.
LHH vs. AI Career Assistant
LHH has long been a leader in outplacement services, but it’s built around a model that’s time-bound and coach-heavy. It works—but it doesn’t scale easily or adapt well to changing career paths or industries.
In contrast, pepelwerk’s AI Career Assistant is digital-first, skills-based and focused on long-term growth. It gives your people an advantage by offering personalized career development that adapts as their goals and the market evolve.
Why Our Career Assistant Works Better
Outplacement should be more than a severance perk. It should help your people land on their feet and move forward with clarity and confidence. That’s what the AI Career Assistant delivers.
Here’s what makes it different:
- Lifelong access to career tools—not just a few weeks of support.
- Private, personalized career journeys with real-time insights.
- Predictive data that matches skills to real opportunities.
On-demand tools for job search, reskilling and transition planning.
Whether you're downsizing, reorganizing or shifting business focus, give your people more than a handshake on the way out. Give them a real plan forward. pepelwerk makes it easy.
