Career Management

Bottom line savings, predicted by reducing staffing levels, are not always achieved, due to reduced productivity from an insecure, poorly prepared and de-motivated workforce.

A solution to maintaining positive staff morale is to do as much as practically possible to help dislocated staff in their transition into alternative employment. Good management of change can result in most remaining staff feeling confident and more secure, giving rise to co-operation and commitment.  

Historically the cost of career management services has been prohibitive to many companies.

Often the re-organisation of personnel within companies has meant that the resources required to assist displaced staff are not available. Even the task of preparing a simple CV, which by nature is very time consuming, let alone the challenges of updating learning & development plans, adds an additional burden to the often untrained and overworked staff, resulting in increased workload and associated stress. It’s at this time that professional, cost effective help is required.

Russell Taylor Associates can offer the complete Career Management Service. We provide personal development / career coaching and practical job search support, throughout the re-organisation programmes. The service is completely flexible and can be tailored to suit all budgets and requirements, and is supported by our recruitment and training, core business.

Some Testimonials

 

“I graduated from Oxford and landed myself a good job in the City. After a year, I felt unhappy - not quite sure why – was it the wrong job or did I not like the move south from Lancashire. I worked with Peter, who helped me discover who I was and what I wanted to be.

In terms of my first career plan, I concluded that I was in the right job, but in the wrong company.

I’m now extremely happy in my new company, I have been promoted already, and earning much more than I ever dreamed.”

I first met Peter when I was a year into establishing my own business and struggling to find the right direction.   His calm and balanced approach coupled with his insight into the potential for my business were like a light being switched on.   His ability to listen and then translate back what he hears is amazing, he really listens and is then able to make very clear links to a path forward.   I feel very fortunate that I met Peter at the time I did, it was a scary world after always working for other people, and I was fast heading down a road that I did not really want to travel.   He opened doors for me, supported me and was always  there when things got tough, and he still is, he is more than a career coach, much more.   Anyone lucky enough to work with Peter will truly have found themselves a Business Angel.”

From a personal point of view Peter helped me through some difficult manufacturing and personnel issues within a £40m business and his input helped turn a loss making business into a profitable entity.
