Outplacement

In most cases, people facing redundancy experience a range of emotions and Penna can help channel these feelings to ensure that individuals can move quickly to secure their next career move and “get on” with their life.

Everyone has a unique perspective regarding how they wish to manage their next career move; from “finding the next role”, to re-training, looking at diversifying into a portfolio career, or considering the possibilities associated with retirement. Our highly experienced career coaches can help with all these situations and many, many more. Our Penna Pathways website provides further information on the different ways in which we’ve supported individuals.

In addition, our web-based tool Penna Online gives access to the best online support in the industry. This fresh and easy-to-use website was designed by in-house experts in the field of career coaching in order to give you everything you’ll need. While other online services can be cumbersome, at Penna you only need type in your unique password once for instant access to the entire site. Our online support will never replace your personal coach, however it can be used 24/7 to effectively support you in pursuing your chosen goals.

SDU

The Senior Directors Unit was founded in 1991 to address the very specific transition needs of directors and senior professionals. As business leaders, many of our clients are making moves under public and media scrutiny and their careers are closely watched by former colleagues, clients and advisors. Managing their reputation and protecting their personal brand are key to the long term success of our clients whether they are on an upward path or moving into new arenas and portfolio careers.

The Senior Directors Unit, located in discreet, well equipped premises in the heart of the West End, provides a safe environment in which our clients can establish exactly what their next move should be, prepare themselves to achieve this move successfully and execute their search campaigns supported throughout by our team of expert consultants and specialists.

Penna Connect

Penna Connect arose as the result of research conducted amongst our career transition clients and their sponsoring organisations. What came back to us, overwhelmingly, is that outplacement candidates want more direct and proactive assistance in finding new roles. Our response to this need is Penna Connect.

Penna Connect aims to provide candidates with an internal recruitment agency. Working alongside the existing outplacement support services, Penna Connect will provide the link to employers in the market. Increasingly, HR are turning to outplacement candidates as an alternative to using traditional recruitment suppliers, as not only are the candidates available immediately, the service is extremely cost effective.

We feel that by introducing Penna Connect, we are truly enhancing the outplacement programme for both the candidate and the client. Click here to find out more.
