Career Diagnostics

Making big decisions about a career move can be very daunting, especially when a person is unsure of what they truly want. Investing in career management services to support employees allows them to integrate career research with expert advice on the best next move for them. A career consultant will take the time to understand a person’s skillset, experience and preferences, when it comes to a job. They will understand what location, working hours and role responsibilities they need. This will help channel them towards the correct choice. Career consultants are highly skilled at tailoring job searches. This helps ensure they get the right person for the role – and that the role is a good fit for them.

Opportunity knocks

When change happens, it’s important for employees to see it as an opportunity. Its a chance to find a job that is perfect for them. Career consultants will help an employee take the time to understand what they want and need out of a role before applying. If it’s not what the person wants, then they shouldn’t settle for a role due to stress and uncertainty. A career consultant will help them identify the perfect role. Then they will help them take the time to seek out that role at a company that’s perfect for them. Settling for a role that doesn’t satisfy their needs will lead them to being unhappy from the start. Career consultants understand the emotions and stresses faced by an employee being made redundant, and can provide support to help them get through that time of change.

Next steps

There are lots of questions to ask and it’s vital that consultants identify the employee’s key skills and areas of interest. Prioritising their needs will help in determining the outcome. Taking the time to find the right role benefits the person and their new company. It will also leave the employee with a good memory of your business, as the company that supported them through their redundancy and transition into a new role. Outsourcing a career consultant to help employees facing redundancy will benefit your company’s reputation and keep good relationships with existing and previous employees.
