Dismissal

A layoff situation often has far-reaching consequences for the employer and employee and brings uncertainty for both parties. Mediation (also offered through Panthion) and legal assistance in the form of an attorney are often discussed in this situation. This often ignores the question, “Do I want the bottom line, or just a nice new job…”

"A termination notice is often preceded by a long period of frustration and annoyance. Employers try to put off the inevitable as long as possible. Only when the bucket overflows is the measure full. Once the notice is given, many employers struggle with the same question: do we go to court or do we try to work it out with the employee ourselves? Our job is to bring all of this back to an appropriate strategy. Our commitment: a good solution and close the chapter as soon as possible. Time to look forward again."

The longer the employment has lasted, the more difficult / painful the negotiation process often becomes. Emotions play a big role in a layoff and, in fact, there is grief and loss. That, too, must be respected.

Our counselors can take a more contemplative look at the layoff situation. Taking into account the different wishes and interests. In a professional and transparent manner, we can advise and assist employer and employee. Then there are various instruments that can be deployed, which Panthion can also advise and support:

  • To file or not to file?
  • To improve or not to improve?
  • What about any transition pay?
  • What is the notice period;
  • Are we going to use outplacement or not?
  • Who will help us with the settlement agreement (VSO)?
  • When in conflict, should we use a mediator?
  • Which attorney can we engage as an employer/employee?

We can answer all these questions and also guide you.

Dismissal is a specialty and so is counseling the employee. So get expert advice and don't take any chances.

Reviews

"I transferred from a municipality through a one-year mobility shift. Within seven months, Panthion placed me with a new employer. This really should have happened to me years earlier...."
"I went through an outplacement process through Panthion. This was quite difficult and confrontational at times. The process was intense, but it gave me many new insights, not to mention a new job!"
"For many years I have enjoyed working with Panthion/ViaMensa. Outplacement and 2nd track processes for the Safety Region Rotterdam are carried out qualitatively and with good results. In addition, I can always spar with Rik in finding customized solutions for our employees which I find valuable. Honest, reliable and professional, the way I should expect and get!"
"The coach offered to me through Panthion was a very patient and professional coach. I therefore went through the career path with great pleasure and new insights. My coach was very helpful, resourceful, very positive. This very much contributed to the trajectory. A real people person with good knowledge!"
"Panthion had a role in our organizational consulting process. Rik (of Panthion) is a strong personality where confidence, enthusiasm and perseverance are his strongest character traits. As an HRM manager, he handles organizational changes involving personnel issues with professionalism, integrity and decisiveness. Rik thinks in solutions."
"About Panthion's leadership training: It was a nice day with a pleasant group. The training gave me insights and concrete tools. Thank you for organizing this training and the aftercare moments. All in all, incredibly educational. Nice to experience how the trainer can create an environment where you can feel safe enough to share personal / not everyday issues with the group. It was an inspiring journey. "
