Career Transition Services
When an organization makes the difficult decision to end an employment relationship, key considerations include how to design the separation package and handle the person’s departure. This is where Outplacement Services can make a difference. As a sound business strategy and a caring approach to organizational change, offering a Career Transition Program to someone who is asked to leave the organization allows them to separate with dignity, understanding and mutual respect.
