Outplacement
 
Financial instability, global competitiveness and technological advance increasingly underpin the need to consider staff reductions through voluntary severance and redundancy. Support ensures those facing change are motivated to move on and achieve. Remaining staff recognise they and their colleagues are valued and in their turn feel able to embrace the new structures and challenges.
 
 With considerable experience in the corporate, public, professional and charity sectors Focus for Change has developed a strong understanding of the market place and its special requirements and succeeded in creating the  solutions needed to support the structure and culture of these organisations.
 
Focus for Change supports individuals requiring one-to-one counselling or large groups located on multiple sites. Liaising with the client's needs, a programme is developed which can include all or any of the following:  
 
 
  • Pre-redundancy planning
