Trends in the economic cycle, increased competition, and technological innovations mean that — today and in the future — jobs change or disappear. For people themselves, the labor market, and social security, it is very important that employees nevertheless remain in work. In this book, the researchers answer the question of whether and how employers offer From Job-to-Job (FJTJ) support to redundant employees, whether it is used and what the results are. Impeding and stimulating factors that play a role in this FJTJ process are also discussed. Larger organizations have applied policies and FJTJ programs more often compared to small companies. Although the range of activities offered is rather broad, the use of many activities is limited. More than three-quarters of the redundant employees who wanted a new job after their dismissal find another job, but not always under the same conditions. The researchers conclude that a number of specific activities contribute to finding new work more quickly. Especially participating in training or schooling has an impact. Personal attention and guidance by an external coach, social support from family and friends, and help with applying for a job also have a positive effect on the FJTJ process.
