An executive boards a train. Choose New Options Group for outplacement
and other career transition services.
Provide your employees with successful career transition experiences to ensure your company's reputation - and the potential for rebounding from sensitive terminations. Our philosophy views talent management as a cycle of attracting, retaining, developing and transitioning talent - a cycle in which today's transitioned employees could be your company's most important recruiting tool. Providing your employees with a successful career transition experience is not merely "the right thing to do," it's sound management.

Losing a job is tough… on the person, on the remaining workforce
and on business productivity.
Your company may not be remembered for all its good deeds, but you'll long be remembered for how well you handled the separation and transition process for the employee. A company that invests in providing its separating employees a superior career transition experience stands to reap the rewards.

CPI/New Options Group supports intermediate and long-term transitions through individual and group consulting. Key to any successful career transition is empowering your people with the right set of skills and tools.

Career transition services CPI/New Options Group supports include:

  • Outplacement services necessitated from downsizing, mergers, restructuring or acquisitions - from small groups to large-scale multi-site career centers
  • Senior executive career transitions, a unique in-residence program designed to meet the most senior-level executive's needs for a successful career transition
  • Spouse or partner relocation services for helping dual-career families make relocation more productive and easier
  • Retirement planning for part-time, volunteer or entrepreneurial ventures
  • Transitions into a new corporate culture (See executive coaching, organizational effectiveness)
  • Management transitions and succession planning (see leadership development)

Career Transition Case Study: Restructuring and Consolidation of Global Insurance CompanyWe beg to differ!
In sharp contrast to our competitors, we treat each person with a dedicated team of senior and experienced consultants who work individually through every step of his or her transition. Because we believe so firmly in this principle, CPI/New Options Group has resisted the trend toward delivery models that are pre-scheduled, curriculum-based, group workshops in the delivery of outplacement services, often with minimal individual consulting support. We proudly remain committed to the highly personal, one-on-one outplacement counseling approach on which we've built our company's reputation. This flies in the face of many of our competitors.

Our corporate outplacement programs are designed to give affected individuals the time and focus they deserve in making a successful career transition - into another company, retirement, an entrepreneurial venture or a totally different career. We adapt our services to meet the unique needs of every corporate and individual client. Whether you need outplacement services for administrative staff or a senior executive, locally or internationally, our senior consulting staff remain focused on one thing: to create a successful transition for the employee, ensuring a win-win for the company and the individual.
 

Senior Executive Outplacement
The New Options Premier Senior Executive Program
For the most senior executives we offer a unique in-residence career transition program facilitated in a carefully selected retreat environment, where a team of senior executive coaches facilitates this two- or three-day retreat, working with the executive and his or her partner one-on-one to help the executive strategically develop a career plan that repositions the executive in another C-level corporate position or entrepreneurial venture.


We offer a wide selection of programs designed specifically to fit the needs of each individual and/or the budgetary restraints. We design each program to make the highest impact on the person's career transition. We tailor programs for:

  • Senior executives - from senior management to C-level executives
  • Professional and/or mid-level managers
  • Exempt employees
  • Large-scale downsizing projects or multi-site career centers
  • Spouse or partner career relocation

CPI/New Options Group supplements high-quality consulting with the latest online career transition technology and tools and e-learning services, as needed. We even provide remote administration in one of several ways - by phone, our Online Career Portal and Career Center or in conjunction with other Career Partners International firms at global locations.

Supporting spouses or partners through corporate relocation
services eases transition woes.
Relocation is tough on a family, especially dual-career families. It affects every member of your employee's family. Providing relocating employees with Spouse/Partner Career Relocation assistance can impact productivity and significantly reduce the risk of a failed relocation.

Providing outplacement services reduces risk and increases productivity.
Managing a difficult transition within an organization is fraught with potential liabilities for the employer. Outplacement support reduces the risks and increases an organization's ability to make critical changes in its workforce. Companies that embrace outplacement support have proven a significant reduction in separation-related litigation. Treating employees with dignity and offering them tangible help to continue their careers sends a powerful message to the remaining workforce. As a result, research shows, productivity increases at a faster rate than for companies that have not offered this support.

What CPI/New Options Group provides is more important than any severance the company could provide. Your career transition services were an all-important lifeline enabling us to confidently, efficiently and positively conduct our searches. All five people displaced from our department have now found positions.
