Integrated Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning is a service that covers every conceivable issue that might be related to workforce reduction. From the adverse impact analysis to crafting employee announcements, and written communications to government officials. From security and workplace safety, to retention planning and community relations. We have helped many and, can assist you and your associates.
Managing Workforce Transition
During any layoff, one of the most difficult dynamics involves the personal communication between manager and employee. Not only those leaving; but, those that are remaining. Our programs cover everything from conducting the termination meeting, to managing the survivor syndrome associated with those remaining.
Comprehensive Orientations
Comprehensive Orientation Services are designed to minimize negative impact. Our “Dear Friend” packets are tailored to each organization’s specific needs. In most cases, “a message to the family”, “what to expect during the first 48 hours”, “the emotions of transition”, and, “next steps” are included.
Group Outplacement Services
Group Outplacement Services are customized to meet the needs of all concerned. Affected employees of all levels benefit from learning models that include traditional classroom settings, online tools, one-on-one consultations, and group coaching sessions.
Individual Services
For executives, managers, or significant individual contributors, our individual services assist in determining the next opportunity. From fully appointed offices, with administrative support to technology driven self directed, and yet fully supported programs, we continue to support those who are in need of executive career guidance.
Career Center Services
When companies must close a facility or reduce their workforce in large numbers, award winning Career Resource Centers provide ongoing transition services to employees through the closure or downsizing. Nobody in the industry offers a more robust service. Integrated services are provided for the employees, company and, the community in which the activity is occurring.
Partner Relocation/Spousal Support Services.
A number of our client companies have utilized this service as a part of their recruit and retain strategies. Members of our staff have served companies such as Coca-Cola in this capacity over the years, and have been recognized as leaders in this arena by such organizations as SHRM, as demonstrated in this article.
Lifestyle Seminars
While the Career Resource Center Model generally concentrates on the immediate nature of the job search, many displaced employees prefer to focus on other options that exist during career transition. Transitional Financial Planning, Entrepreneurial-Self Employment, and Pre-Retirement offerings have been adding value for years.
