Bus/Financial - Human Resources
Spanish term or phrase: RECOLOCACION
This refers to the practice of helping find employment for employees who are let go (in this case, due to a factory closing).

I have a lot of ideas for this term, but I was wondering if an H.R. expert can give me the U.K. term for this practice.

Placement


Explanation:
Depending on the context I would say placement is the best option here.

Outplacement wouldn't convey the meaning of recolocacion correcly.
