Outplacement Programmes – Decipher Group Limited
Decipher Group has designed two practical programmes to enable the job seeker to put their best foot forward when looking for their next opportunity. The programmes are differentiated by the level of assessment and focus of the one-on-one coaching provided and suit two different levels of job-seekers.
The substantial experience of Decipher Group in human resource management, coaching and recruitment means that we are well placed to provide valuable, practical advice and support to job-seekers. The programmes will guide them on career choices, the approach to job hunting and appropriately marketing themselves through CV and Cover Letter coaching and interview training. Our programmes have been developed in conjunction with Winsborough Limited which provides tailored psychometric assessment using the Hogan tools.
In addition, our programmes include a consideration of non-employment options like study and government support where this is appropriate.
Our programmes are lead nationally by our qualified HR Specialist, Melanie Lindroos. Melanie’s leadership and style will ensure consistency and professionalism of this programme from an organisational and job-seeker perspective. We suggest as part of this assignment that Melanie meets with affected staff to introduce herself and discuss the benefits of the programmes. Together we can determine the how we could manage this logistically. Throughout the process, we will report back to the appropriate manager on notable issues arising from conversations with the job-seekers together with a final summary report.
Programme One – “The Next Step”
Programme One will be suited to someone who is looking for a simple pragmatic approach to the next step in their career.
This programme is designed to provide practical and relevant guidance on how to search for a job, how to best market yourself and how to conduct an interview. The assessment phase will provide the job-seeker information on strengths, weaknesses, motivations and career preferences. The face to face sessions will consider other non-employment options for the job seeker (i.e. further study and government support) should this be appropriate.
