The effective and speedy transition of a separated employee to a desired outcome depends on many things. Well-defined goals and realistic objectives are essential and their achievement is largely dependent upon the approach of the individual and his/her interaction with our trained consultant. Based on our book entitled "A Bend In The Road - A Guide To Career Transition", ours are comprehensive programmes commencing at the ‘pick-up stage’ of retrenchment, working through the career progression process and culminating in the achievement of defined objectives.
Our book focuses on the 4 phases of career transition:
OUTPLACEMENT & RETRENCHMENT SUPPORT
SEPARATION
A Bend in the Road
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened up for us.”
– Helen Keller
PREPARATION
New Horizons
“Our goals can only be reached through the vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”
– Pablo Picasso
COMMUNICATION
Enjoy the Ride
“Proactive people take the initiative and responsibility to make things happen. They cause action rather than being victims of circumstance.”
– Chris MacAllister
NEGOTIATION
New Beginnings
“Half of the trouble in this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.”
– Josh Billings
OUTPLACEMENT PROGRAMMES
Group Programmes
2 to 4 Days
Up to eight individuals take part in our 2-4 day Group Outplacement Programmes, during which time discussions are held and exercises are completed, relating to the career transition phases. In addition to group exercises which allow for an element of synergy and support, 'one-on-one' time is set aside for each participant, to assist them with personal issues and address concerns that arise during this phase of transition.
Consolidated Programmes
4 to 12 Weeks
Our Consolidated Outplacement Programmes are made up of four meetings, held between one of our consultants and the separated employee, offering extensive email and telephonic support throughout the duration of the programme. Programmes can also be packed into 2 days, depending on each participants' personal circumstances.
Extended Programmes
3 to 6 Months
Our Extended Programmes are designed for more senior members of staff and deal with the same phases of career transition as the above programmes, but in a more complex and personalised manner.
