Outplacement coaching
...offers leavers, leaders and managers highly-specialised support through change.
In times like these, managers and leaders need to be effective in dealing with change and downsizing; from the moment the initial decision is made to the implementation of a final solution. This is why Full Potential Group provides highly-specialised coaching that is designed to help managers and leaders keep their focus on the business and stay successful throughout what can be a highly challenging change process.
Minimising downsizing difficulties and maximising personal and team management skills reduces the likelihood of poorly-managed change programmes, lessens emotional trauma and maintains performance levels for both novice and experienced managers.
This is a stressful time for leaders
They know the staff who have been chosen to leave the organisation and the difficult decisions that have been necessary. In addition, they know it is imperative to retain good staff, to keep them motivated and to manage morale.
Managers also need to keep an eye on the bottom line
During times of significant change managers must maintain productivity in the face of difficult circumstances. They also, however, have a need to be heard.
In our experience, change and downsizing initiatives are most successful if they are well planned and if the managers involved know what to say and how best to behave. Equally, they will need support and de-briefing after the event. To maintain best practice and to sustain management morale, FPG fields a range of powerful strategies for delivering difficult news such as redundancies, for self-care, for motivating the self as well as the department, time management systems, and coaching methods, all of which assist organisations to produce desired outcomes throughout the change process and for the months following a downsizing programme.
