Outplacement Bienne: supporting a career transition in Bienne

SHR's outplacement in Bienne is for companies parting ways with an employee who want the departure handled with dignity and backed by practical support towards a new job.

Useful outplacement in Bienne starts from the local job market: which employers are hiring, which skills transfer from one sector to another, and which networks to activate in the canton of Bern and beyond.

Outplacement Bienne: the local angle

In Biel, a bilingual city of watchmaking and subcontracting, many technical skills transfer between neighbouring firms. Support helps name them precisely and use both languages to target Bern, Solothurn or the Bernese Jura as well.

Outplacement Bienne sessions take place in Bienne, at your premises, at our office in Plan-les-Ouates or remotely.
