Mobility employment can come into play when an employee and organization want to part ways and outplacement does not provide sufficient financial security.
With a mobility service contract, the employee joins Panthion and the employee -while maintaining the benefits package and professional guidance- is guided from job to job. In addition to HR & career services, Panthion -offers mobility services to its clients within the government and education sectors. This service is in high demand.
Reasons for mobility employment:
- Situations surrounding redundancy (reorganization);
- Orientation to another career step within the government or education sector;
- Changes in job duties that result in a desire to continue career elsewhere;
- Fixed-term appointment will not be renewed.
My employment with the municipality is ending. How to move forward?
Robert (47) has been working for a municipality in the Hague area for about 15 years. A medium-sized municipality that was going to downsize -also due to organizational development and directing certain parts. Inde practice, this meant that Robert’s duties changed such that his operational/tactical duties would result in a primarily policy function. Based on individual agreements, the council and Robert eventually parted ways. After his last day at the municipality, Robert joined Panthion.
Robert: “There are more mobility service providers. I (and my employer) ultimately chose Panthion for the following reasons.”
- Quality (the results in terms of outflow are very positive);
- Regional opportunities (Panthion focuses primarily on employers in the Rotterdam, Utrecht, Amsterdam triangle;
- High level of motivation (the career counselors and trainers are enthusiastic and true “professionals”);
- Frequent and personal supervision (we see and speak to each other weekly);
- Workplaces in the region (I can work in various places).
Robert: The alternative was to break up through a settlement agreement and then WW. This left my employer stuck with quite a potential cost and I would have to look for another job without guidance. I was really looking for a committed party that would increase my job opportunities from its strong regional ties.
Robert had not leveraged his network enough in recent years and saw a diminishing opportunity to apply from an unemployment situation. He wanted, on the one hand, optimal guidance and, on the other, a network and work environment from which he could look for a new employer from rest and with help.
Robert: “I was able to continue working from one of Panthion’s workplaces just fine with various assignments. In addition, I received coaching and training. While retaining my old working conditions, I was able to look for a new job. This succeeded within a year and I am now working at another municipality in the same region.”
The mobility employment at Panthion has given me the opportunity to find a new job from rest and optimal guidance. All of this while maintaining salary.
Costs in a WW situation
For employers in the government and education sectors, Article 72 a WW applies. In practice, therefore, these employers are themselves responsible for both the WW charges (statutory and sometimes supra- and post-statutory) and guidance toward work. A mobility service contract can offer an interesting alternative in financial terms. Much more importantly, mobility employment increases the likelihood of employment. Over 80% of the candidates we assist find new employment within the agreed upon time frame. So in addition to a work situation, retention of benefits, coaching and training, also a nice result.
