Proposed Employee Support Plan
Explanation:
I like Jane's translation but feel we have to sometimes look beyond the strict translation to what it would be if written in English. This will also depend on the overall tone of the document. (I put it in caps since you said it was a title)

agree  Tom Bishop: I'd go along with "support". Not so sure about integration, as they will probably be looking to let some people go.

agree  Emérentienne: en général, on parle d'accompagnement social pour le personnel qui est licencié donc, il ne s'agit pas d'intégration mais suivi/reclassement
