Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth

Outplacement services are provided by an organization to support employees who are leaving (e.g., due to layoffs) by helping them transition to new employment. These services often include career counseling, assistance with job applications, and training in interviewing skills to aid the employee's job search.

Option A (Outsourcing benefits): This refers to delegating benefits administration, not career support.

Option B (Onboarding services): Onboarding involves integrating new hires, not supporting departing employees.

Option C (Outplacement services): Correct, as these services directly relate to helping employees find new jobs after separation.

Option D (Work-life balance programs): These focus on supporting current employees (e.g., flexible hours), not departing ones.
