Economic instability increasingly underpins the need to consider staff reductions through voluntary severance and redundancy. Support ensures those facing change are motivated to move on with the tools to help them achieve. An additional benefit to supporting those in transition is that those remaining recognise their colleagues are valued and they in their turn feel more freely to embrace the new structures and challenges.
With considerable experience in the corporate, public, professional and charity sectors – including some twenty universities – Focus for Change has developed a strong understanding of the market place and its special requirements and succeeded in creating 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 clients’ needs, a programme is developed which can include all or any of the following:
