Career Management
Outplacement
​
​Outplacement is a career coaching service that assists employees who are leaving their current employment, whether it be due to redundancy or a desire to pursue a new career, in their transition to finding new employment.
​
Our programs go beyond mere resume preparation, cover letters, interview advice, and networking setup. Our goal is to deliver a comprehensive program that includes in-depth preparation, learning, skill development and career planning customised to meet each participant's unique needs.
We understand that every person is unique, has a unique value proposition to offer to potential employers. So, this is where we begin, with the focus on YOU, the individual, your value proposition, your specific needs, objectives and aspirations. We partner with you on an equal footing, working together to achieve your results and we continue to provide a level of post program support if desired.

How Organisations benefit from Outplacement
Terminating one’s employment as result of downsizing and/or redundancy is never an easy decision. How that is handled can have negative or positive impacts on the employer brand, reputation and the morale and productivity of remaining (survivor) employees. Partnering with CIDCO to provide outplacement early in the process, before redundancies are communicated, can mitigate negative impacts by structuring clear workforce communications and a career coaching program that will provide emotional and practical support to exiting employees to help them effectively transition and focus to the future.
Employee morale can be upheld when ‘survivor’ employee’s see that the business cares for and values their people at such a difficult time. In this way, employers can also mitigate conflict and serve to maintain relationships with former employees.

On-boarding
​
On boarding is critical step in the hiring process and begins once the role is offered. A well planned, relevant and well delivered on-boarding process can determine how quickly and how effectively a new employee engages with the business, understands the role and how it contributes to overall business success.
CIDCO’s skilled on-boarding coaches and advisors can assist both organisations and individuals to develop the right on-boarding strategy to support employee learning, growth and integration into the business. An effective approach will assist organisations to retain hard won talent and can reduce the time it takes for the new employee to become productive and deliver a return on investment

Psychometric Assessments
CIDCO uses a range of psychometric tools to support career planning, career progression, executive coaching, talent selection and learning & development initiatives.
​
In this context, psychometric assessments can provide valuable information and insights into a individual’s skills and work styles, motivators, interests, personal values & attributes, aptitude and most importantly can identify personal development and growth opportunities.
​
It is common for organisations, during the recruitment process to use psychometric tools to better evaluate or measure a potential candidate’s fit for a specific role – the alignment of their capabilities and behaviours, based on the required characteristics of that role and values of the organisation.

Dispute Resolution
Mediation / Facilitation
​
It is important that workplace disputes are addressed early, as soon they emerge
When disagreements or grievances lead to workplace conflict, the way in which conflict is managed can have significant positive or negative impacts on workplace culture, business productivity and the effectiveness of workplace and business relationships
Mediation is a cost effective and proven alternative dispute resolution process. It is a suitable solution for addressing workplace conflict at varying levels of complexity across an organisation between individual employees, groups, employees and management or between other stakeholders.
A preliminary individual discussion between the Mediator and each of the relevant stakeholders enables the process to be outlined and may also assist the parties to consider what it is they would most like to achieve from mediation.
The Mediator or dispute resolution practitioner is a completely impartial third party whose role is to facilitate and assist the parties to have a confidential and open conversation about their concerns. A self-determining process enables the parties to decide how they would like to move forward.
