HR Support

Career Transition

Outplacement, skills assessment and career coaching that supports departing employees — and protects your organisation's reputation as an employer.

Individual & group programmes In-person or online Adapted to each person's situation
Why it matters

How you support people leaving says everything about your culture

Career transitions — whether voluntary or restructuring-driven — are moments of vulnerability. How organisations handle departures has a direct impact on the wellbeing of the person leaving, the morale of those who remain, and the company's long-term reputation as an employer.

All employees, at some point in their career, will face a professional transition. A redundancy, a change in direction, a restructuring, or simply the need to reinvent themselves. HR teams have a responsibility to offer appropriate, human support at these moments — not just administrative processing.

Grace provides structured career transition support that combines emotional intelligence coaching with practical job search skills — helping people leave with confidence, clarity and a plan.

Common questions

FAQ

How is this different from a one-off training workshop?

It's built on Grace's Assess → Build → Measure system — a validated baseline, structured development, and post-programme measurement — not a single session that fades in a few weeks.

How do you measure ROI?

A validated EI baseline, a post-programme assessment, and longitudinal tracking mapped to engagement, attrition, and productivity. Figures are drawn from the Grace ROI White Paper (2025) and are consistent with third-party research from TalentSmart, Korn Ferry, and the 2025 ICF Global Coaching Study.

Is our data secure?

Yes — GDPR and Swiss Data Protection Act compliant, delivered through a confidential, secure environment.

What languages do you deliver in?

English, French, German, and four more — seven in total, across a network of roughly 40 certified coaches.

Can outplacement start before someone's official leaving date?

Yes, and it's usually better that way — starting the process before the last working day gives the individual momentum and shortens the time to re-employment.
