Bus/Financial - Human Resources / redundancies
Dutch term or phrase: sociale begeleidingsmaatregelen
Text about 'the right to information and consultation in collective redundancy procedures'.

De raadpleging heeft in ieder geval betrekking op de mogelijkheden om de collectieve ontslagen te voorkomen of in aantal te verminderen alsook op de mogelijkheid de gevolgen ervan te verzachten, door het nemen van ***sociale begeleidingsmaatregelen***, meer bepaald om bij te dragen tot de herplaatsing of de omscholing van de ontslagen werknemers (artikel 3 lid 3 Wet melding collectief ontslag).

Anything clearer than 'social support measures' would be appreciated!

Being retrenched is traumatic. Not only does one have to deal with the embarrassment and panic of losing one’s job but also with the harsh reality of a future loss of income.

I was thinking of 'by providing practical support' (in view of what follows), but I like your 'redundancy counselling and advice'! Or perhaps ~ and support. Thanks.
