Executive outplacement

Career transition support tailored to senior executives

Supporting your people to navigate the complexity of senior executive career change

When senior executives leave your organisation, the implications reach further than most departures. Careers at this level are more complex, job searches take longer, and the impact on both the individual and the organisation can be significant. That’s why our Executive Career Transition support is exclusive, confidential, and, designed with no time limits. 

We work alongside your leaders until they secure their next right opportunity, which could mean: 

  • Continuing a corporate career at senior level 
  • Transitioning into a non-executive or portfolio career 
  • Launching a new business venture 
  • Redefining their career path or future direction

Supporting executives through redundancy can be complex

For those holding the senior roles in your organisation, there can be fears of not finding another senior level role. The change in identity, however temporary, can also be a big limiting factor on productivity. Self-doubt, concerns about external perceptions, the value one brings and practical concerns about paying the mortgage all arise at this point of transition. Without specialist support, you may find:

  • your senior leavers find it harder to navigate redundancy, making it more stressful
  • external customers negatively experience the impact of your internal changes
  • your organisation gets a negative reputation in the wider market
  • poor reputation impedes attracting leading talent and clients
  • your remaining employees are influenced by the lack of support given, either affecting productivity or making them more likely to leave

Solving the unique challenges of your leaving executives

In our experience, executives value having peer-level conversations with someone that has shared that senior level corporate experience, and also brings a wealth of knowledge about executive search. This can help your leaving executives get clarity on what they want and out-perform their competition. Providing specialist outplacement support to your executives helps:

  • demonstrate you care about your people during times of change
  • your senior leavers navigate the stressful landscape of finding and applying for senior roles
  • maintain business as usual and enable smoother handovers during restructuring
  • mitigate bad reviews in an era of consumer-led transparency
  • reduce unwanted turnover during periods of change
  • put you in the best position to attract new employees, whenever that time comes
