Outplacement at Makio

At Makio, outplacement is all about guiding employees and organizations through the change processes involved in terminations, layoffs, and redundancies.

We understand that once a termination is made, it can’t be undone, and we recognize the significant impact of handling it with dignity. Outplacement can make a meaningful difference here – it provides reassurance both for those leaving their jobs and for the remaining organization. With outplacement, we ensure that the process is not just safe and straightforward, but also dignified and respectful when you need to let go of one or more employees.

Outplacement you can rely on from end to end

Makio’s outplacement programs offer a secure, straightforward, and cost-effective way to help employees move smoothly forward in their careers. With over 25 years of experience, we’ve assisted hundreds of companies and guided thousands of employees, drawing on our deep expertise and background in outplacement and career counseling.

As part of our outplacement service, we support you throughout the entire termination process and provide training for managers on how to handle difficult conversations.

Outplacement is more affordable than you might think, with costs typically under one month’s salary. Additionally, statistics show that our candidates find new employment in an average of just 4.7 months. Makio’s services are available nationwide, with offices in Copenhagen, Odense, Horsens, Aarhus, and Aalborg.


To me, the 'M' in Makio stands for people. Specifically, it represents human relationships. This is something they excel at — understanding people and building connections.

Intensive coaching and advice

At Makio, our outplacement programs typically consist of weekly meetings lasting about 1.5 hours. Each employee is paired with an experienced advisor who also offers phone and online support as needed.

We also grant access to our unique job search portal, opening doors to a world of relevant job opportunities.

In our Makio Move On events, we focus on community, positive energy, and networking. We host these events several times a year, offering professional inspiration in a supportive environment where employees can connect with other job candidates facing similar situations.

We tailor our outplacement programs to include both professional guidance and a holistic approach to supporting the individual.

Provide confidence with outplacement

When your company chooses outplacement, it’s not just an investment in individual employees but in the entire organization.

By opting for outplacement, you provide confidence by demonstrating that you care about your employees’ future and are committed to supporting them even after they leave your company. This fosters a sense of security for both current and future employees, strengthens your employer brand, and plays a crucial role in retaining and recruiting top talent.

At Makio, we focus on making the outplacement process dignified for the departing employee, providing confidence for a smooth and successful transition.

We create a supportive environment where employees can process the change, find new motivation, and discover new opportunities. Through our personalized outplacement programs, we offer experienced and tailored advice to help employees move forward quickly and confidently in their careers.
