Corporate Services
Companies today are challenged in many ways that ultimately lead to organization change and executive staffing decisions. In many cases those decisions involve the removal, replacement, or transition of executives. These decisions can be difficult, painful, unpopular, highly visible, and can build resentment in the affected executives and negatively affect overall executive morale.
Companies typically utilize the services of a professional outplacement firm to provide fundamental assistance to the executives and prepare them for a new job search. Because business presses, companies want to move forward and thus have certain expectations from those service providers.
A COMPANY’S OUTPLACEMENT GOALS
* Complete the executive transition smoothly with no complications,
* Demonstrate the company’s good intentions,
* Treat the executive with dignity and respect,
* Ease the burden and anxiety of the affected executive,
* Focus the executive’s attention on the next steps in his/her career,
* Shorten the time it takes for executives to move on,
* Minimize the internal emotional risk,
* Minimize any legal risks, and
* Maintain employee morale and move on quickly.
Traditional outplacement services help executives prepare for a new job search, but have limited ability, knowledge, or resources to facilitate a quicker transition beyond general training and resume preparation. Most firms blend executives in with staff level people in their services. Although they work with people in peer groups, they do not provide ongoing, hands-on, personal service to executives. Most executives want to continue on their career tracks, but they face a greater challenge than staff level employees because of the level of responsibility they target, the degree and quality of competition, and the relative scarcity of executive opportunity.
Executives need a more specialized service that is personal, confidential, and customized; one that can provide the tools and resources for the executive to use to be more proactive, productive in uncovering opportunities, and effective in generating offers as soon as possible.
