Technological progress would be impossible without competition in the field of innovation goods manufacturing. To ensure sustainable development of the company it is necessary to use innovation technologies not only in the sphere of manufacturing but also in management. The article deals with assessing the efficiency of introducing personnel outplacement at the oil and gas enterprise. The authors studied in detail HR policy of the ‘Surgutneftegas’ company and evaluated its efficiency leaning on the correlation between the rate of labour productivity growth and wages. The company had to cut the number of its employees due to decline in oil prices. It led to economic losses connected with direct and indirect costs of personnel firing. In order to avoid such expenses it was offered to use outplacement, which can act as a suitable tool for reducing staff at the mentioned enterprise. The application of these recommendations could improve the reputation of the company as a just employer and raise profit thanks to cutting costs of personnel firing.
