Change in the workplace is inevitable as more and more organisations face the dilemma of downsizing, or need to redeploy people to meet new challenges. Beilby’s approach to career transition has tangible and lasting benefits for both employers and employees, helping to minimise business disruption and distress for the individuals involved.

Employees are provided with a thorough assessment of their skills, experience and accomplishments, based on professional counselling, psychometric profiling and career interest tests.

A professional resume, coaching in interviewing techniques and access to Beilby’s occupational psychologists, counsellors and recruitment consultants, are all part of the service. At the conclusion of the process, Beilby will actively market these candidates to prospective employers.

Ensuring that career transitions are managed professionally and offering employees appropriate support programs has major benefits for employers. If employees are aware that such support is available, plans to restructure the organisation are likely to proceed more quickly and easily with minimal disruption to productivity.

The tangible expression of goodwill, with the offer of practical support, helps to reduce the negative impact on those affected by career transitions. This, in turn, helps to reduce any feelings of resentment towards the organisation and eases the stress on company executives who are responsible for the restructuring process.

It is also beneficial for morale when staff who are not affected by restructuring believe that their outplaced colleagues have been treated fairly.

Beilby specialises in tailoring career trasnsition programs that meet the specific needs of large and small organisations. All program facilitators are highly qualified and work closely to help participants focus positively on their future opportunities.
