We will tailor any element of the following elements for any employer to meet timescales and budgets.

Our nationwide proven Outplacement Redundancy Programme is based on creating locally based teams who can support each other during a stressful period. By meeting together over a six to nine week period and joining or creating an Alumni group, momentum can be sustained and supportive friendships developed, whatever each person's background.

We handle junior and middle managers as well as senior  executives from both the Private Sector, Public and Third Sectors. We help people re-build confidence. We have a special module for preparing ex Public Sector employees for working in the Private Sector.

CertaintyOne’s core EFP programme covers ten key elements:

1.     Assessing status and setting objectives.

2.     LIFO behavioural style profiling and career re-assessment.

3.     CV re-building.

4.     Sharing experiences and building on career successes.

5.     Job Searching and handling of recruitment agencies.

6.     Using social networks in job-hunting.

7.     Interview coaching and handling difficult questions.

8.     Coping with stress and financial planning in redundancy.

9.     Initial LIFO profiling  compared with dynamic 360 feedback.

10.   Personal action plans and accountability.

We have recently coached over 320 middle managers and senior executives from Banks, Insurance Companies, Local Authorities, the Dept. of Health, Social Services, Construction and PFI Companies, Property Management and Pharmaceutical businesses. We have handled individuals with deep specialist skills such as  FD's, Marketing Directors, Distribution and Logistics specialists,  Retail Merchandisers, and IT Directors and Project Managers. We are capable of handling both junior and middle managers, and senior executives with respect and dignity.  A large proportion have found meaningful work.

Finally, we can refer certain candidates to our new specialist headhunting and resource service arm - Perceptive Placements - where we will help find them part-time, non-exec, consultant, sub-contractor or full time positions. We provide guidelines on how to approach potential employers...and then coach them when rehired using the knowledge gained during the Outplacement workshops. A service that goes beyond normal outplacement services.

So how do you cut costs to sustain cash flow and maintain profits, whilst at the same time reacting rapidly to the need to let go of senior managers and staff ? So tempting to act quickly when markets turn down. Yet you may be of a  size where you have no experienced HR specialists in house to cope with the sudden pressure.

We offer four programmes where we combine our Business experience with our Personal Development coaching. 

Programme A. Executives returning to employment and wanting to make an impact can purchase an individual programme of  support. 

Programme B. CEOs and their leadership teams can discuss with our consultants their personal and team developmental needs. 

Programme C. Businesses wishing to unlock growth potential and move to the next stage of their development, can commission us to run a 'Growth Constraints Workshop'.

Programme D  Executives we have coached sometimes decide to start up their own ventures or buy a franchise. We know their strengths and so can provide some concise input in a  'Business Plan Validation Workshop' and channel them into Government based Enterprise programmes.

In the workshops for Programmes B , C  and D above, we address both the human factors and financial and business matters such as :

• Driving for clarity in describing  business objectives.
• Spotting obstacles in the context of the market and the need for change.
• Building resilience in your top teams and achieving improvements.

We are then able to guide the Business Owners / Executives towards amending current activities whilst taking fundamental steps to further develop their top management and leadership team skills. We have in depth experience in the Financial Services, IT and Marketing/Data Warehousing and Manufacturing and Logistics sectors.
