Career Transition - Your People. Your Brand.

Downsizing, Rightsizing, Restructuring and Reengineering are all words that describe today's reality as companies and individuals deal with the changes associated with the new economy. Nationally, career transition or “outplacement” has been a standard feature of corporate layoffs and demand continues to rise. In fact, more than two-thirds of US employers offer these services as a bridge to an employee's future.

How your company handles an involuntary separation can have a major impact on retention of existing talent and on your position as an employer of choice. Many of your former employees will stay in the same industry and maintain relationships with your vendors, customers and partners. While career transition services will likely protect your company from litigation, providing the right services can yield positive results, building your overall brand.

The way in which the employee separation is communicated and managed will have long-term effects on the way your company is viewed both internally by employees and externally in the marketplace.
