One thing employers and employees alike can agree on is change is here to stay.  

Help Employees Transition to a New Career

Savvy executives and business consels recognize the importance of employee career transition assitance when anticipating the consequences of business decisions driven by globalization, technology advancements, and economic shifts:

• impacted employees need assistance in learning or refreshing job search skills
• remaining employees are emotionally influenced by the manner in which friends and co-workers are let go
• morale and productivity are negatively impacted if employees do not perceive management is demonstrating fair and equitable care
• the community judges the firm and its products and services by the manner in which it cares for and treats its employees
• the faster an employee is re-employed, the faster the risk of lawsuits is diminished

EMI has been assisting organizations with personalized career transition/outplacement services for over 14 years.  Debbie King, SPHR and President of EMI, has authored many articles on the topic of downsizing, has published a corporate fable entitled, Learning to Live With Downsizing  which explores the topic of downsizing from the perspective of those leaving as well as those remaining in an organization filled with change, and most recently authored a new book entitled Position Your Next Move for a Successful Career Search, which is offered in our Products section.

EMI is the Preferred Career Transition Firm

What differentiates EMI from other outplacement firms is that our services are provided by experienced, compassionate HR professionals with backgrounds in recruiting and hiring.  They are not “stand-up” trainers, reading slides and formatting resumes as an exercise.  EMI is preferred to other firms because:

• Our career coaches are knowledgeable and can answer questions that may not be in the materials.
• Our coaches include personal stories to emphasize a point because they have practical experience as a hiring manager, recruiter and/or HR manager.
• Our workshop size is limited to a maximum of 6 in order to provide personalized, one-on-one attention to each participant in the development of the resume, practice with networking and interview questions and design of job search strategies.
• We produce chronological resumes, the number one format preferred by hiring managers – not functional resumes which usually indicate that the individual is “hiding” something about their career history or work experiences.
