Outplacement Case Studies and testimonials
UPC Media, Maidstone
The Development Company provided on-site support for 12 hours per day to ensure staff in this 24/7 TV studio had ample opportunity to gain benefit from the drop in service. We provided workshops, career clinics, psychometric profiling and one-to-one coaching to 250 staff who were losing their jobs as the site was closing.
Tricia Holmes, HR Manager said it was just the caring service our people needed. Working 9-5 was not an option here as we offer a 24 hour TV channel. The Development Company was just right for the project. Thank you.
(Tricia is now at Chello Broadband).
NRES (National Research Ethics Committee)
We provided one-to-one coaching to enable an individual to move on from redundancy.
“I’ll kick off with an apology: sorry for not offering you a drink on Friday afternoon – I was so engrossed I forgot and the afternoon positively flew by. I have to say this speaks volumes for your skills – I don’t think I’ve ever attended a training day/event where I haven’t thought about lunch and coffee breaks on every hour on the hour – I am a bit of a caffeine addict, so I must’ve been interested. It was all quite fascinating. After I’d said goodbye to you I walked back to my office feeling 8 feet tall. Thank you so much, especially for coming all this way – hope you had an uneventful trip home.
I can’t wait to get to work on my CV and mind map. I may well seek further advice… You opened my eyes to all sorts of things and I still feel confident two days on – very impressive. I’m still in ‘I’m OK – You’re OK’ mode and I’m working hard to maintain this mind-set. Thanks for all your helpful advice – I now feel that I can face the world. I know that there is the perfect job out there for me – just have to narrow down the range. Someone, somewhere, is going to be very lucky to have me!!!”
