Melbourne-based human resources specialists, Hawkins Consulting, has released an outplacement/career transition package under the title "The Challenge of Change."
"The new material contains important additions to their first presentation which we used with great success," said John Tompkins, head of human resources at PaperlinX - formerly Amcor Paper. "Hawkins Consulting has handled individual and group outplacement for us in recent years and the localised, practical style of their material and counselling processes has consistently yielded the performance we require," said Tompkins. "The new product will only enhance the results we've had in the past."
Hawkins Consulting entered the highly competitive HR recruitment field 14 years ago and expanded into outplacement to satisfy a client need for a program offering candidates an accurate, clear and practical approach, geared specifically to the Australian workplace culture.
"When the Mornington Peninsula Shire lost the internal bid for the Physical Infrastructure Maintenance contract, we needed to outplace about 160 employees, from management to various blue collar roles," said Shire HR Supervisor, Narelle Rowell. "Hawkins Consulting used a number of consultants on-site and the manual/video package worked effectively at each level. The new material goes a step further in content and presentation. It wouldn't be difficult to conduct your own outplacement using the templates and worksheets along with the manual instructions. I think it's even more user-friendly than the original."
The Challenge of Change includes an instruction manual covering all elements of job search with 30 pages of sample letters, résumés and worksheets. Step by step it leads the job seeker through the entire process in an easy-to-read style. Employing a logical sequence, author Mac Hawkins unravels the difficulties of how to find work proactively and quickly, whether you're a school or university graduate; wanting to improve on your present job prospects by moving on, or restarting your career after job loss. The manual is complemented by a 30-minute video with the author instructing and encouraging the viewer to adopt the right attitude; move quickly into essential preparation and research, then action the systems described.
"I was recommended to see Hawkins Consulting by the Forstaff organisation after a restructure at National Rail saw my position disappear," said former Regional HR Manager, John Morris." Mac Hawkins convinced me if I quickly knuckled down and followed the steps outlined in the material, the results would come sooner rather than later. I decided to follow his advice and within a few weeks I had a choice of two excellent positions and opted to join Crown Casino as HR Manager in their Operations group. The newly released version of the material has brought it right up to date but still retains the cultural balance and user-friendly nature of the original," he said.
Hawkins Consulting provides national coverage with their outplacement programs and the new package will further reinforce the effectiveness of these programs for displaced employees seeking a swift return to the workplace.
