APPLICATION OF THE OUTPLACEMENT MODEL “FATRA” TO TAF PMS 2010 CONCEPT

Abstract

In order to survive the constant changes and developments in the economy, companies must resort to alternative structural developments. In this context, organizations must develop programs to support the employees they laid off as well as their remaining workforce to achieve efficiency and profitability. One of these support programs, the Outplacement, is a service that helps employees who lost their jobs to cope with the situation and to find a new job. In addition, the Outplacement program deals with the psychology of the remaining employees in the sense that their jobs may be under threat as well. In general, the Outplacement model concentrates on the career development and the psychological support of the employees. The model encompasses a systematic support. In this study every small detail is analyzed and a conceptual model using Axiomatic Design is developed. The validity of the model is then tested within the Turkish Armed Forces.
