Negotiating an executive’s departure: How to ensure a secure future

At Servitalent, we understand that parting ways with an executive is a delicate process for both the company and the individual involved. Beyond financial considerations, managing this transition strategically and professionally can positively impact corporate reputation, workplace climate, and future relationships with key professionals.

However, professional transition is a specialized field that requires a distinct approach. That’s why Servitalent collaborates with Vasis Conseil, a national leader in this area, to provide top-tier executive outplacement services. Through this partnership, we help companies navigate these situations with professionalism and sensitivity.

Executive departure: More than Just a financial matter

When a company faces an executive’s departure, negotiations often focus on financial compensation. However, no matter how generous the severance package is, it does not guarantee a successful career transition. What truly makes a difference is facilitating a strong new professional project from the outset.

From a business perspective, including a professional transition program in the severance package offers several key advantages:

• Easier negotiations – Providing an outplacement plan reduces resistance to departure and adds value beyond financial compensation.
• Reduced uncertainty and conflict prevention – When executives receive career transition support, the process unfolds more smoothly.
• Enhanced corporate reputation – A well-managed transition reinforces the company’s image and builds trust among employees and stakeholders.
• Minimized impact on the team – Avoiding abrupt or poorly handled departures helps maintain team morale and stability.

Why choose a professional transition service?

Unlike traditional outplacement services, our partnership with Vasis Conseil provides a personalized and exclusive approach tailored to top executives. This boutique service is designed for leaders who require:

• Strategic career guidance to redefine their professional path.

• Access to opportunities that align with their expertise and goals.

• A confidential and customized approach, focused on positioning them effectively in the market.

Companies that integrate this service into their executive transition processes not only support their leaders but also strengthen their reputation as responsible employers.
