More details about the project
Due to a corporate merger one of the company sites is having to close down. Faced with a stagnating environment, highly qualified employees have to re-orient themselves. The main objective is to support employees in their transition process from working in the previous organisation to transitioning into a new professional and personal life.
The challenge: having to say goodbye to the past in just one day, focusing on new outlooks, making space for emotions and aligning the mind and the heart with what will occur in the future. This is in line with our collaborative approach, focused on building a learning community.
The workshop program is based on our model for career change covering the dimensions „Structured approaches vs. letting things come into being“: in a large group setting where sufficient room will be given for plenary discussions, tandem work and small group exercises, as well as mini workshops and opportunities for one-to-one work.
