One-On-One Out Placement Counseling

Turning Points is a career and organizational development consulting firm specializing in the delivery of Out-Placement services to companies such as yours. We provide one-on-one counseling and group workshops that answer the needs of businesses going through strategic changes in their lifecycle. We have been in business since 1983 and have been providing the highest quality premium services at a reasonable cost.

The current economic and business climate is driven by planned and unplanned changes that impact cash flow and strategic operational decisions. Some companies must consider downsizing and lay-offs due to lost profits, mergers, acquisitions, reductions in grants and various other pressures. Turning Points offers individual Out-Placement Counseling to address these pressures.

In people centered organizations going through reductions in workforce the use of Out-Placement services has become more important than ever. Most often mid to senior level managers are provided with one-on-one Out-Placement counseling services. Offering Out-Placement to individuals targeted for downsizing, or for those who have been recently laid off, is very important and provides a life-line in a time of insecurity. The message to those who survive downsizing and reductions is that the company cares about it’s people. This service can actually help maintain morale in a time of uncertainty.

Very often those being laid off from mid to senior management positions are interested in similar positions but have been out of the job market for extended periods of time. Some look at this situation as an opportunity to explore brand new career options. In either case they need to prepare themselves for a quick re-entry to the job market so they can secure new positions as soon as possible and move forward with confidence. This requires a review of their strengths and talents and creating a strong and dynamic resume. Additionally, they need interview coaching and an understanding of how to negotiate an income package based on their needs and the market conditions. Most importantly a recently laid off employee, regardless of level, must restore self confidence and be prepared to network effectively and exploit every opportunity available. This can be accomplished through a customized individual career transition program.

Our area of expertise is in guiding this process to a successful and satisfactory conclusion.
