• How can we best deliver career transition and counseling services to employees during periods of organizational change?
• How can we best provide resources and services to employees to support ongoing career development and advancement?

The success of any reduction in workforce is dependent upon a carefully developed plan and thoughtful, well-managed execution. During periods of such change, organization leadership is faced with challenges including:

• Managing shifts in organizational culture and structures
• Maintaining employee focus and support for overall organization goals and objectives
• Managing internal and external stakeholder requirements and expectations
• Ensuring the organization is adequately educated and prepared for changes
• Minimizing confusion and resistance among the remaining workforce.

In addition, individual employees require support and services to perform successful career transitions, such as to:

• Deal with uncertainty and stress associated with organization changes
• Understand how their existing skills, abilities and interests can transfer into new roles
• Continue performing effectively in their existing and/or new organization roles
• Prepare for and conduct an effective job search
• Develop resumes and cover letters to use during job search.
