Career Development

Retain
Most people leave jobs because they don't see career opportunities. Organisations have to work harder by offering career progression to attract, grow and retain the key talent they need. We provide tailor made career development solutions to demonstrate that you care about your employees' careers, whilst encouraging a sense of individual ownership.

Aspire
Everyone deserves to reach their potential yet how many people are given the recognition to consider and set realistic career goals? To control their own destiny in a constantly changing organisational environment, individuals must take charge of their own career direction towards their own definitions of professional success and personal aspiration.

Clarify
We help your employees gain a better understanding of themselves, identify their motivations and clarify their career goals, against which they take decisions regarding their learning and development plans.

Align
Fraser Thompson design and deliver integrated career development programmes, aligning an individual's capabilities and development plans with your organisation's strategic objectives.

Performance Coaching

Mission
Ultimately, people want to find meaning in their work. If your managers feel that they are valued and that you care about their careers, they will be motivated to perform and deliver. Providing your manager with a coach is a form of recognition which revitalises them, enhances their performance and commitment to the organisation.

Vision
Effective organisations develop agile and energetic leaders with the ability to respond to changing business needs; create and communicate a shared vision, engage and motivate their teams. Coaching will develop your high potential managers by creating the mindset of leadership behaviours whilst giving them the confidence to put these into practice.

Awareness
Give your people constructive feedback and not only do they learn, develop and perform but they also have a sense of being noticed and valued. Fraser Thompson raise your manager's self-awareness through interviews with colleagues, 360 feedback and a range of appropriate psychometric tools.

Action
Through our focused coaching interventions based on action learning techniques, we help your managers take the initiative, extend the scope of their job and capabilities, pursue ambitious goals and deliver results with impact. We encourage personal reflection and measure the return on investment through evaluation.

Career Transition Support

Opportunity

Reflection
We provide an intimate, supportive face to face service where a client's emotional needs are paramount. We sensitively turn what can be a profoundly disturbing experience into a positive opportunity for a fulfilling future. By reflecting, helping a client to assess themselves and their motivations, we can then move forward.

Motivational support and consultant activity is directed to ensure that our client's marketing strategy achieves their career objectives.

We also help survivors adjust positively to the new demands of organisational change when trusted & valued colleagues have gone.
