People often ask for an individual session to help them for a variety of reasons... to clarify career goals, to assist with job interview preparation, to review a curriculum vitae, to provide a sounding board, to get some ideas as to potential opportunities or alternative career paths. This can be a one-off session but sometimes may be two or three, or even ten, depending on the situation. We meet and explore and discuss any of these, or more, over coffee for an hour or so and follow up and provide support as needed.
Some of the potential reasons to engage Campbell & Dean include:
One of the greatest challenges always facing all employers is how to recruit and retain the best staff. Assuming that an employer has a well-formulated recruitment strategy and conducts a professional recruitment program, it is also important to integrate a retention strategy to ensure that scarce human resources are nurtured and developed, perform effectively and want to stay with their employer. There are strategies which may apply to an organisation as a whole and there are also strategies that will apply to individual employees depending on their motivations. We are able to look at both organisational strategies and to advise on individual strategies.
CUSTOMISED OUTPLACEMENT & CAREER TRANSITION SERVICES. There are a range of circumstances in organisations that can precipitate situations where the services of an individual are no longer required, be that outplacement, redundancy or retirement. Some of the benefits of the outplacement and career transition services we can provide to assist with empathetic disengagement from an organisation include:
The program includes:
INDIVIDUAL MARKETING / BUSINESS PLANS. In an environment where an employee has specific goals to meet, an individual marketing plan is an excellent vehicle to develop a disciplined approach to meet, and ideally exceed, KPIs and budget targets set by employers. Equally, individual business plans for building a practice or business sector can be both useful and essential to charting future success. This service can be provided through employers to an individual employee, to a range of employees or to an individual seeking to make his/her mark at work seeking discreet external advice. There may be an existing framework within an organisation and we would be pleased to review this and make recommendations, as appropriate.
This service can be of benefit to individuals who are looking to remain with their current employers and wish to derive maximum professional and personal satisfaction by making the most of the opportunities available where they are. Equally the service is useful for individuals who are seeking to achieve a particular goal or seek a different career direction or new role and need independent advice and assistance to chart different ways of achieving their goals.
DEVELOPING LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. We are pleased to assist with the development of learning and development programs for individuals or groups, ranging from initial orientation into an organisation to leadership development. We are able to review existing learning and development programs and to make recommendations for enhancement and/or change.
BUILDING A NEW LIFE IN RETIREMENT FOR PROFESSIONALS AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES. Many professionals and senior executives are ill-prepared for life after the workplace. Some have devoted themselves to their work to the detriment of life outside the workplace, interests other than work and a plan for a stimulating, happy and healthy retirement. We can help organisations and their people, by preparing individuals to find new directions and fulfilment.
WORK / LIFE BALANCING CONSULTING. With work lives becoming busier all the time and the impact of technology we are really never far away from work, and with the “war for talent” never abating, employers are needing to provide flexibility and a range of benefits that will at least match those of their competitors and then think even more creatively to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Our recommendations aim to be practical and cost-effective.
Working within a fully-utilised and often stretched human resources function, there is often no capacity nor time to conduct specific research projects – these can be small or large. We are happy to provide advice and assistance and prepare reports as appropriate. If you would like management and/or other staff interviewed confidentially by an independent and experienced professional, which may be to seek their views, ideas or comments, then this can be a practical service to get the job done and get information or feedback to the CEO, HR, Board or other relevant source in a timely manner.
