personalised reemployment programme

I prefer reemployment, because that's what you get help with. They don't help you with "severance" as such.
Note from asker:
It seems to by psychological, advice, training, and possible differential payment if a lower paid job is taken. Thank you Emma. Could one be getting better advice this am?!!

personalised severance assistance agreement

As these types of agreements don't exist as far as I know in English speaking countries (except of the golden handshake type for the privileged few) I think you have to invent your own terminology.

In fact as far as I can see the term 'reclassement' is rather misleading as there is no automatic reassignment but rather assistance in training and job-seeking while still technically working for the employer.

Thanks fourth. I was also going to add that 'agreement' in English is rather more vague than 'convention' which implies a collective or institutionalised agreement but I can't come up with anything better.

personalised job-seeking assistance agreement

This is a bit wordier, but I think that if one looks at what is involved in such "conventions": http://www.travail.gouv.fr/informations-pratiques/fiches-pra...

then this is the closest description.

"Changing job roles and handling redundancy involves: ... information (for example, outplacement and counselling, job seeking, entitlements and benefits). ..."
www.sfedi.co.uk/standards/business-enterprise-standard/op8-...

"Armchair Advice provides information on employee rights after job loss through redundancy, access to regional employment law expertise, job seeking advice ..."

"... of finding Agricultural recruitment and job seeking assistance service for both ... GIPSA Civil Rights Program Basu Settlement Agreement Recruit. ..."

Explain with translator's note?

This is a question, rather than a response - as this is a France-specific provision/legal requirement/system, would it not be best to use the French and add a footnote? As no true British equivalent exists?
