Career transition

Supporting your people through critical milestones and moments that matter

Helping you guide your employees along their career journey, and beyond

The modern career is very rarely ‘linear’. Whereas a few decades ago it wasn’t unusual for someone to stay in the same type of role for their entire working life, modern talent is much more inclined to diversify and apply their skills to multiple functions and disciplines. This is without mentioning key life events and milestones that can change the trajectory of an individual’s career, such as starting a family and preparing for retirement.

NFP’s career transition services are about helping you and your people make the most of the changing world of work. Whether you’re an individual looking to make the next step or change in your career, an organisation wanting to tap into a new pool of talent for succession planning or want to invest in retaining and supporting your talent through their ‘moments that matter’, we’re here for you.

With NFP’s complete retirement transition solution, we can guide your people through their hopes and aspirations for their individual retirement transition.

Supporting your people through career transition requires expertise

Any sort of change or transition can be a daunting thing, especially when it requires an individual to make a significant personal and/or professional adjustment. It’s these pivotal moments where your people need extra support and may look to you, their employer for guidance.

Providing support to those going through career transition can make a huge difference to the culture and success of your organisation, as well as a more positive transition and employee experience.

Without career transition support, you may find:

Your people may be disengaged and less productive
Your career break returners struggle to settle back into their role
Key talent leaves due to struggles balancing work and other life commitments
Those approaching retirement age aren’t confident enough to plan their next steps
Your EVP isn’t as strong as it otherwise could be

NFP can help your people thrive through change, not run from it

We know your people are all different, and our career coaching services reflect that. We can tailor the delivery of coaching and the coaching itself to perfectly align with what your people want, including the frequency, amount and timeframe of sessions.

As a seamless extension of your organisation, NFP can work with you to co-create specific programmes to support employees, helping your organisation derive key commercial and reputational benefits.

NFP’s career transition support is designed to ensure:

Your employees are supported by you when they need it most
You retain key talent that may otherwise be thinking of leaving
Your people are empowered to optimise their impact in their role
Your supportive culture is strongly communicated both internally and externally, enhancing your brand and EVP
You support the cycle of talent moving through your organisation, which can improve innovation and prevent stagnation

Flexible support that match your and your peoples’ exact needs

Whether online, hybrid, or in-person, individually or in a group, the delivery of your career transition support will be tailored to suit your peoples’ needs and goals. Our facilitators and coaches are also handpicked with your organisation and people in mind to ensure you get the best possible outcomes.

Parental transition Retirement planning

Connor has a passion for what it does and truly cares about the people they work with. I would definitely recommend them.

HR director, technology company

The Met baby parental transition programme is the single best training & support package I have had in my 17 years in the job. The programme has assisted me with managing a promotion with part time working and work life balance. I’m delivering on all that is expected of me in my new role. To anyone thinking about accepting this offer of coaching I would say grasp it with both hands.

Recent workshop delegate, Metropolitan Police

Once I knew I could afford to retire, my NFP coach gently pushed me to expand my thinking and horizons. Combined with obvious depth of knowledge and experience, they helped to make this a really positive experience. I am now happily retired but also have a plan for the future should my goals and ambitions change.

Coaching Candidate, Engineering Sector

Many employees approach retirement feeling anxious and unprepared, which not only affects their own financial and mental health, but also has a knock-on effect on the workplace – with people deferring retirement meaning increased people costs and blocked succession pathways. Employers have a role to play in helping individuals feel able to retire when they want. They can engage all staff with planning for retirement throughout their career, and not just in the final countdown years.
