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.

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.

Being at a professional and personal crossroads, affected by cycles of corporate change, one may feel that the time has come to set up a business or become self-employed. Our module guides individuals through the reflection stage, exploring, developing and launching an entrepreneurial project, through individual coaching that is targeted to specific needs. This is done via expert advice, be it in the self-reflection phase, as well as legal, financial and tax advice to optimize a well-founded entrepreneurial strategy and structure.

Program & Workshop Retirement

Retirement represents a major life change for most people, and it can bring about many emotions, from excitement and happiness, to stress and uncertainty. After experiencing an intense and successful track record within an organization, one may be facing the transition towards retirement aware of the need to strike a new balance in life. Retirement can mean many things and our perception thereof is radically shifting. Global aging is about much more than demographics, it is most importantly about mindset. Today, retirement is viewed less as an ending, than as a transition from one chapter of life to another. Von Rohr & Associates’ approach enables individuals to gain clear awareness of their values, interests, resources and skills, as well as changes that occur in life in one's 50s, to structure their post-professional activities and craft a targeted action plan in line with their needs.
