PROFESSIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS

It has become increasingly important for employers to offer high quality and professional career management support services, as the following recent research extract illustrates:

A recent research study* among senior HR Managers has shown that career development initiatives can significantly increase the retention of high calibre staff. Outplacement services have clearly given many managers leaving their employers the support, guidance and personal insight, which have enabled them to find roles that suit them far better. The irony is that had career planning and development programmes been offered before they left they may have become winners in their old organisation.
