Career Transitions & Outplacement, Handled with Care
Restructures, consolidations and mergers put your reputation, your departing employees and the morale of the people who stay at risk. PCG (PERSOL Consulting Group), part of the PERSOL Group, helps Hong Kong organisations plan and manage transitions responsibly, at every level.
When business strategy requires consolidation, downsizing or a merger, how the change is handled matters as much as the decision itself. Poorly managed separations damage employer reputation, unsettle the remaining team and leave departing employees without the support they need.
PCG partners with organisations to plan for and manage these complexities, working with leadership, HR, departing employees and the teams who remain. Our support extends to individuals, with ongoing guidance and resources as they move into their next role, a new venture or retirement.
