Advice Clinics

As part of our Advice Clinic service we can maintain an on-site presence or be available by telephone when employees receive the news to provide immediate support during the transition period. We can also actively engage with remaining employees to keep them motivated and productive while dealing with the organisational changes.

These advice clinics are designed to support both the departing employees and those that remain throughout the transition period and beyond. By maintaining an on-site presence employees can be immediately supported while they process information and plan the next step in their career.
