Corporate Restructuring & Downsizing

Assisting leaders dealing with merger integration, restructuring or
downsizing situations resulting in employee separation.

We utilize a change management process that uses thorough planning and preparation to separate employees in a professional manner in order to achieve business goals and cost savings. Our methodology ensures minimum impact to remaining employees.

Moore & Associates is unique in the outplacement industry in that we have extensive change management experience. As experts in the entire organizational transition and development process, it is our belief that the "outplacement services" piece must be integrated and closely aligned with the goals, vision and ongoing change initiatives occurring within the client organization.

To ensure that outplacement will achieve its full benefit, financially, and otherwise, we perform the following services as part of the entire change management and outplacement process.

While providing those who are separated with the best career transition coaching available, ideally, downsizing planning begins long before the actual staffing reduction. Our consultants offer seasoned advice in assessing your organization's transition management needs.

By handling the downsizing process professionally, our clients are able to reduce costs inherent in any restructuring effort. Departing employees have an easier time becoming engaged in outplacement while remaining employees can better accept the transition with minimal loss of productivity.

Our corporate restructuring and downsizing solutions can be provided globally through our partnership in Career Partners International. Our affiliation with CPI allows us to provide our corporate clients with seamless service in over 140 cities worldwide.
