The beginning of the year tends to be the busiest time for restructuring employees. The holidays are behind us and companies are focused on executing their talent plans and making some internal employee shifts. Some are lateral moves and promotions, and others are the tough decisions to let employees go. For those who are leaving the company, the job market is particularly difficult these days with the changing landscape due to AI, and it being an employers' job market. This is where career transition services play an integral role in fostering confident, sustainable career change.

For leaders who are responsible, compassionate and supportive, offering career transition services to the departing employees is a logical move. Paid for by the employer, career transition services helps impacted employees find new employment by helping them with their resume, Linkedin, interview skills, and job search. Some employees see this transition time as a perfect opportunity to change their career, work in a different industry or sector, or start their own business. The massive upheaval and big decisions that come with job loss are much easier to navigate with the support of an experienced career transition coach. 

Career transition coaches understand the complexity of processing a job loss while in tandem launching a job search or doing some self-reflection to better understand what work will be fulfilling. We also understand that small businesses have a limited budget and we are proud to offer this affordable service with a very simple sign up process - we just need the employee's contact information and take care of the rest, invoicing only once the employee has engaged in the program.
