Career Transition and Outplacement Services

Your trusted partner in a time of uncertainty and change

An investment in Career Transition minimises organisational risk and maximises opportunity for impacted individuals.

Businesses who take care of their employees by offering Career Transition Services create a positive experience for impacted employees, drive a higher internal morale among remaining employees and enhance employer brand by demonstrating a care factor for past and present employees.

 

The focus of Davidson’s Career Transition and Outplacement Services is to support individuals to positively approach their future, whether that is to re-enter the job market, start their own business, undertake a career change, or pursue another avenue.

 

With the help of a dedicated Career Coach and access to comprehensive and self-paced online content, participants are guided through the fundamental elements and assisted to navigate the complexities of their chosen path.

Employee engagement and satisfaction of remaining employees increases by 38% compared to 14% if the company elected not to provide career transition services.

Minimising Organisational Risk


Resizing and reshaping your workforce has the potential to negatively impact your organisation’s reputation, and the morale and productivity of those who remain in your workforce. Our expertise in enhancing workplace performance means these risks are top of mind for us – we help you future-proof your organisation and achieve change through an efficient and well-balanced process that considers:

 

Your brand


  • Eliminate the potential for reputational damage from negative media and reports
  • Protect your employee value proposition for the future


Your people


  • Ensure transitioning staff are well-prepared and supported
  • Reduce the emotional impact, reassure your retained workforce and keep your star performers
  • Our agility and responsiveness ensure individuals with increased personal risk are provided the right care and attention

 

Your results


  • Ensure productivity throughout the change
  • Pave the way for re-recruitment of your workforce when it becomes time to grow


Maximising opportunities for transitioning individuals

We can take a multi-faceted approach to support your people, providing individuals with an integrated program of individual coaching, or peer coaching, or technical group work and online, or self-paced work.


Each participant receives a collection of supporting materials to help reinvent their career, including access to an online resource library and a career learning guide. Each participant is assigned an expert career coach for the duration of their program who manages their career search strategy, backed by a Davidson team of career specialists. 


Davidson’s Career Transition service is underpinned by a proven process to ensure employees have every opportunity to be successful, whatever their chosen path.

2. Drive


This stage provides the participant the opportunity to embed their learning’s into their future plans to ensure sustained behavioural change. 


3. Develop


Having gained a deep understanding of the factors that contribute to a rich and meaningful life, this stage aims to develop priorities, goals and planned pathways to realise success.
