Outplacement Programs for a Respectful Career Transition
“Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him” - Aldous Huxley
At Challenge Consulting, we understand the importance of guiding your exiting employees through this difficult process of career transition. Challenge Consulting’s accredited and experienced Career Transitioning Coaches are committed to facilitating solutions for both your organisation and your exiting employee which are professional, sensitive, practical and effective.
Organisations which provide a respectful career transition for exiting employees, demonstrate a commitment to their corporate values, their social responsibility and the well-being of their continuing employees. This sends a strong message that they have a genuine concern for their employees and that they are an organisation that ranks as an employer of choice.

• providing you with recommendations for best practice redundancy policies, procedures and code of conduct
• being available immediately to counsel your exiting employees
