Outplacement and coaching at a Government technology organisation
Amidst a major tech restructure, Working Transitions delivered a tailored programme combining wellbeing, resilience and outplacement support. By coaching senior leaders and empowering individuals to take ownership of their next steps, we helped maintain focus, reduce stress and support smooth transitions—despite the scale of change.
Background
A major technology overhaul involved several hundred people applying for positions in the new structure. Unsuccessful applicants had the option to redeploy or take voluntary redundancy. If those options were unsuccessful, or not chosen, compulsory redundancy followed.
Solution
Working Transitions designed and created a tailored programme that focused on well-being and stress, and how the transition impacted the employees. Another focus was for the staff to fully understand the amount of support they had available, especially when transitioning through Outplacement.
Part of this programme was to coach the senior management team through the challenging time and reduce the pressure on them. Also, by preparing the staff for significant personal change by building personal resilience, and enabling them to be more personally responsible for their futures.
Results
Union feedback was very positive and senior managers credit the programme with reduced stress, maintained focus and maintenance of business as usual at a difficult time.
