Like any other industry, our Talent Management/Career Transition industry also experiences change. When we began our company over 17 years ago, our focus was "Outplacement services". However, our approach to Outplacement was totally comprehensive, including a variety of services to address different aspects of a company's transition. This could include team building or supervisory training, etc. if the facility was going through a merger or acquisition. Often we provided "Retirement Workshops" for those employees choosing to retire instead of change jobs, as well as career exploration and resume development.
Though there is still a need for strategic Outplacement services, and some companies still are willing to support those employees being released, there are also other transitional-related needs. For instance, those in our field are fully aware that MANY companies and organizations will not be prepared when their "baby boomers" begin exiting -- not to mention that 6-7 out of every 10 employees will soon be eligible for retirement. The majority of companies have not provided any leadership or management training for about 2+ years. Therefore, most won't have prepped management personnel ready to step into those retiring baby boomers' shoes. This is going to hurt a LOT of organizations!!!
In addition, other types of services that will be needed include Coaching: Executive, Communication, or Performance; Strategic Organizational Development, Team Building, Assessments, Effective Hiring Instruction and Evaluation Support, etc.
A key question to employers is "what are your biggest challenges in keeping your organization from moving forward?" Chances are we/Compass Career-OI Partners can help! We are an employer's HR partner. What are your challenges, and are you ready to make a commitment to do whatever it takes to move forward?
