Career Transition
Whether you’re transitioning a few people or thousands, Lee Hecht Harrison has the resources and expertise to help you plan an effective restructuring strategy and manage the transition process from start to finish. Most importantly, we’ll help ensure that your affected employees are constructively engaged in transition activities, and that the employees you retain remain productive, committed, and focused.
As an organization, ask yourself:
- How important is being perceived as an employer of choice for attracting new hires in other areas of the company?
- What challenges do we anticipate facing from your various stakeholders during a downsizing; for instance, the community, stockholders, customers, managers, and employees?
- What outcomes would we like to achieve from transition services; for instance, are we looking for a high level of satisfaction with the service by the individuals you sponsor? Is a high utilization of the service important?
- What is our process for the notification and separation of employees and key executives who need to move on?
LHH can comprehensively manage your transition events and increase your ability to retain your organizations brand equity, your reputation as an employer of choice, and ultimately your best people.
Pre-Event Planning.
We help you with the upfront planning that is essential for effective and successful transitions. Through providing advice on communication strategy, project planning and milestones, and effective manager notification training, we help you achieve positive outcomes.
Resiliency and Workforce Productivity.
We help you assess productivity challenges brought on by the transitioning of affected employees. We provide solutions for working through those challenges and also help employees and managers successfully navigate within a changing organization. Services can be delivered before and after a downsizing event.
Redeployment Services.
Often, some areas of an organization are downsizing while others are recruiting. Transition and recruiting costs can be reduced by redeploying employees affected by a downsizing to areas in need of talent. We have processes to identify affected employees who could be redeployed into other positions and to facilitate their transition.
Outplacement Services.
Our programs can be customized to the unique needs of your organization and employees at all levels who will be leaving the organization. This can include multiple approaches such as onsite career centers, online tools and resources, group working sessions and one-on-one coaching.
