Managing the needs of, and giving professional support to, a range of people in a variety of situations can be challenging and stressful.
The Career Company is a versatile company of qualified Human Resource and Career Advisors specialising in career management and work-life transition. We work closely with human resource managers, business owners and others who are responsible for the well being of staff. Clients range from businesses with as few as five or six staff to larger corporate and government departments.
Taking time to understand your situation and then designing an appropriate programme to fit is one of our strengths. If we are unable to provide the service we think appropriate we will suggest an alternative professional.
Read on to learn more about how we can help you.
Dealing with redundancies?
Redundancy is a difficult time for not only the staff affected, but those managing the staff and those left behind. Ensuring you have a robust strategy in place and are able to communicate this to staff at the start of any restructure will help everyone through the tougher times. Good clear communication is critical.

Want to know more about how Career Development helps?
A recent Gallup survey revealed that 59% of workers surveyed said they were not engaged in their work with a further 14% saying they were actively disengaged. Workers who are not engaged have essentially 'checked out' and although they turn up to work, they do not bring energy and enthusiasm to the job. Actively disengaged workers go a step further and spend work time undermining what their engaged co-workers accomplish.[1] This has serious implications for the employer:
- How do you make sure your workers are engaged and therefore productive?
- What do you do with those who feel stifled in their current roles with no idea what step to take next?
- How do you ensure good fit between the person and the role?
- What do you do with those who have been in the workforce for 20 plus years and have lost, or are in danger of losing, their motivation and enthusiasm for work?
We can help.

Got a team underperforming or not communicating?
Want your team to work more effectively and productively together? We help team members understand their natural way of operating in the workplace and get them to appreciate that we don't all operate the same way. As a result they learn about different communication needs of team members and develop an
increased understanding and tolerance of peoples differences.

How do you manage staff Professional Development?
The benefits of offering staff Professional Development are well documented and we are experiencing an increase in demand for this service as the benefits are noticed in the workplace. Whether it is regular Professional Supervision which is an excellent learning and development opportunity, or setting career goals and identifying skill/knowledge gaps, or Managerial Development Coaching for someone who is technically capable but lacks the people management experience, we design an appropriate service that works.

Faced with ageing employees you want to keep?
The need to retain, re-energise and re-engage older workers is attracting more attention as we head into an age of baby boomers contemplating retirement. This comes at a time when we are already experiencing a skills shortage. Losing a staff member with thirty or more years of skills, experience and industry knowledge can have a major impact on most businesses.
Through participating in one of our pre-retirement programmes we are often able to reach a win-win situation for you and your staff member.
