Outplacement
We support leaders in transition with our New Path for Leaders executive outplacement programme. The process begins with comprehensive assessments, including an in-depth interview to explore the leader’s current situation, future aspirations and the values guiding their decision-making and overall well-being.
Through dialogue, personal assessments and strength-based methods, we uncover each leader’s unique capabilities and motivations, paving the way toward a new direction. This foundation supports the entire job search journey – from simulated interviews and networking events to LinkedIn optimisation and CV refinement.
A dedicated SAM coach will guide you through every step, ensuring you have the tools, confidence and clarity to find the best new path forward.
