Career Development

RETAINING VALUABLE EMPLOYEES AND POSITIONING YOUR ORGANIZATION AS AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE

We offer a broad range of services, customized to meet the needs of your organization and your budget.

Career Compass

Career Compass is an internally focused, group career development program that allows employees to direct and grow their career within your organization. This six-step program combines assessments, workshops and individual meetings. The program includes working with leaders on how to have career conversations. When completed, the employee is able to develop realistic career goals and a personalized career action plan that will keep them engaged and on target for growth.

The Career Compass program “blew open the doors for me,” says a recent Career Compass participant. After nine years in the same role, this individual had just landed a new position and was feeling overwhelmed at all there was to learn. The program’s combination of one-on-one sessions, personality assessment and self-initiated learning enabled her to embrace an important opportunity.

“I moved from that overwhelmed sensation to a focused plan,” she explains. “Before I took the program, I really thought in terms of where my career’s going to take me, but taking this program made me realize it’s all about where I take my career. It’s not waiting for things to happen. It’s taking advantage of any opportunity that I see. A number of things have opened up for me because I’ve been open to them. This has been a huge life-altering experience for me.”

Integration Coaching

In today’s fast-paced work environment, newly appointed individuals are expected to integrate into the new organization or position within record time. To facilitate the process of bringing a newly hired or promoted employee “on-board”, prevent the potential loss of a key resource and the high costs associated with such a loss, KWA Partners offers a strategic Integration Coaching program that optimizes the new leader’s integration.

Career Strategy

Designed for individuals who find themselves at a career crossroads within their current organization, Career Strategy provides them with a complete career assessment. Delivered in a one-to-one, consultative format, this program’s goal is to optimize the performance of key individuals and solidify the employee-employer relationship.

Retirement Planning

Our retirement planning program helps individuals develop a realistic view of retirement and encourages thoughtful consideration of the lifestyle and financial implications associated with this change. The program can be offered one-to-one, in workshop format, or as a combination.

Spousal Relocation

Hiring top talent, or motivating top talent to relocate, often implies moving a dual career couple. In order to successfully retain relocated employees it is critical that your organization address the impact of relocation on the spouses’/partners’ goals and career. Our spousal relocation program is designed to help you develop an inclusive, results-oriented relocation program that offers many benefits including significantly improved retention of new staff.
