Career Transition

Gain clarity today,  prepare for tomorrow

 

The accelerating pace of change requires both organizations and individuals to anticipate, adapt, and act with agility.

 

At Von Rohr & Associates, we believe that outplacement goes beyond the job search process: it is an opportunity to step back, reflect on one’s aspirations, and consider the next stage of one’s professional journey from a new perspective.

 

Whether the goal is to pursue a new corporate role, embark on an entrepreneurial venture, explore a portfolio career, or prepare for retirement, we help each individual explore their options and define a direction that is both realistic and meaningful.

 

By combining personal reflection with a pragmatic understanding of market realities, we help individuals make informed career decisions and approach the next stage of their journey with confidence.

Program Outplacement

Our programs are built around a personalized approach, tailored to each participant’s objectives, aspirations, and individual situation. Each participant benefits from the support of a dedicated lead consultant, complemented by the expertise of our multidisciplinary team. 

One-to-one coaching, expert-led Masterclasses, employment market insights, and personal development tools are integrated throughout the journey. Together, they help participants gain a deeper understanding of their strengths, motivations, working style, and potential, enabling them to approach their transition with clarity and confidence.

Program Entrepreneurial

A professional transition can be an opportunity to explore starting a business or becoming self-employed. Our Entrepreneurship module helps structure this reflection and supports the journey from exploration to project launch, through one-to-one coaching tailored to individual needs and each stage of the process. It also draws on our in-house legal, financial, and tax expertise to assess the project’s feasibility and establish solid foundations.

Program & Workshop Retirement

Retirement represents a significant life change that can bring both excitement and questions or uncertainty. After an intense professional career, this transition invites individuals to find a new balance and reflect on how they wish to approach this next stage of life. Today, retirement is increasingly seen not as an end, but as the beginning of a new chapter, offering an opportunity to rethink priorities, activities, and future plans. Our program helps individuals gain a clearer understanding of their values, interests, resources, and aspirations, anticipate the changes associated with this stage of life, and structure their future plans. Through guided reflection and personalized support, it helps define an action plan tailored to individual needs, enabling participants to approach retirement with clarity and peace of mind.

INDIVIDUAL programs

Personalized coaching provides the opportunity to explore the different dimensions of this new stage of life and develop a plan aligned with personal priorities and financial circumstances.

A distinctive feature of our approach is access to in-house specialist expertise to address questions relating to pension planning, succession, taxation, and financial planning, including in an international context.

Group WORKSHOPS

Interactive sessions provide a dual framework: firstly, to enable individuals to plan and take charge of their transition toward life beyond their 50s, guiding them through a personal discovery of visualizing and planning a next life chapter. And secondly, unique at Von Rohr & Associates, in-house specialists who can address legal, pension, estate and tax planning questions (single or multi-jurisdiction).

Program Dual Career Partner

International talent mobility is an important consideration for companies, and the success of an international assignment does not depend solely on the professional integration of the transferred employee. It also depends on their partner’s ability to find their place in a new environment and pursue their own career goals. Faced with the challenges of managing two career transitions simultaneously, our Dual Career program helps partners reflect on their experience, values, interests, skills, and aspirations in order to explore the opportunities available to them. We also provide insights into the Swiss employment market, helping partners define their professional positioning and identify opportunities suited to their new environment.
