CHANGE MANAGEMENT WORKSHOPS

The change management workshops focus on three elements:

Seminars for managers to equip them with change management strategies for self and others.
Seminars for staff remaining in employment.
Seminars for staff leaving the organisation.

Phase 4

INDIVIDUAL OUTPLACEMENT SUPPORT

Outplacement support can help ease the transition and reduce stress for HR leaders and employees who have been made redundant or terminated.

Are you experiencing a sudden career change and need help navigating the options? Our outplacement support service can help you find new employment if you have been made redundant or terminated from your job.

The Outplacement Program has been strategically developed to provide screening, needs analysis, personal development and employment placement preparation.

Outplacement support has a range of benefits, including:

Professional guidance: We provide access to career coaches and other mental health professionals who can help you assess your strengths and career goals and develop a plan for finding a new job.
Job search support: We include resources such as resume and LinkedIn writing assistance, interview preparation, and job search strategy coaching to help you improve your chances of finding a new job.
Networking opportunities: We provide group coaching and provide access to networks of contacts and job leads, which can be valuable when looking for new employment.
Psychological support: Finding a new job can be stressful and emotionally challenging, especially when the job loss is recent. Our outplacement support includes help from career coaches, organisational psychologists, and other mental health professionals to help individuals cope with the emotional challenges of job loss.

The Outplacement Program provides participants with the opportunity to consult with a psychologist and apply their problem solving and decision making skills to effectively manage their personal well-being, career, work performance, professional skill-set and quality of life.

Thinkahead offers outplacement support on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and online across Australia, including individualised and group career coaching, career strength assessments, job search support, resume and LinkedIn writing, interview coaching, and post-placement follow-up.
