It was a refreshing experience working with Peter and the deliberatepractice team. I felt well supported and their personal approach made it easy to build rapport.

Seven Melbourne has enjoyed excellent service delivery from deliberatepractice over the last 3 years. The personalised service and quick response times to our staff needs are what brings us back to their customised and problem specific approach for outplacement, management coaching, workforce and retirement transitional advice. They work closely with the HR team to deliver great results, ensuring a partnership approach within our business.
We engaged deliberatepractice to run an outplacement program following the redundancy of around 50 positions across numerous locations. A key point of differentiation was the proactive and professional way in which deliberatepractice managed the project.
Our employee going through the deliberatepractice program secured work within a few months time, which is a really positive outcome.
I engaged deliberatepractice to undertake a search for an individual with non-complementary skills. The assignment was taken on with great enthusiasm and delivered a superb result. I was thrilled when deliberatepractice presented me with not only one candidate but a shortlist of candidates who all met the brief.
Whenever I have engaged deliberatepractice for career transition they have listened carefully to our unique needs and requirements, and responded efficiently. The combination of flexibility, meaningful advice and considered quality support for our employees has been very evident.

We engaged deliberatepractice recently at our annual Sales Conference to deliver training to our frontline managers. deliberatepractice gave our managers a toolkit that focused on adaptive leadership and a framework to assist them with decision making. Our leaders are better prepared to handle common business problems and are communicating more positively with their team.
We engaged the services of deliberatepractice to find a senior level HR Director for our Asia Pacific operations following a failed search on our own. I was blown away by the quality of candidates deliberatepractice found and I'm positive that we could never have attracted the quality and quantity of candidates on our own. The slate of candidates ranged from good, better to best and our choice was very difficult. I literally wanted to interview everyone! We were extremely happy with our final candidate and he's doing an amazing job for us - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Peter and the team to anyone.
Great team that is always there for us and ready to help with any challenging issues we come across. They are very client focused and seek to understand our unique business requirements in each case prior to giving advice. Outstanding service, very reliable and pleasure to do business with.
As a candidate with deliberatepractice, I have been really impressed with the support and the service I have been provided with. It has been a real personal and genuine experience.
I have worked with deliberatepractice when heading up the HR department/function in various companies, during significant periods of organisational change.

They easily navigate through the ups and downs of change while having some fun along the way.

FAQs
Quick answers about our process and outcomes, reach out if you want further clarity on our services.
Outplacement is a service that assists individuals transitioning from a job, often after redundancy or restructuring. It helps these individuals impacted by change to find new employment or explore alternative career paths.
Outplacement benefits individuals by assisting them to achieve clarity with their transition goals and then enabling them to achieve these via career coaching, networking and job search skills development.
Our outplacement programs are delivered one-on-one, providing individuals with a personalised career coach to make their job transition smoother, less stressful and typically quicker than those individuals who do not receive outplacement support.
Organisations also benefit by providing a positive experience for departing employees and maintaining morale among remaining staff - this further re-enforces your EVP
Absolutely! Outplacement services can help you explore your career options and identify your strengths and motivators. With the support of your coach you can achieve clarity in what to do next and then work in partnership with your coach so you can achieve these goals.
It's best to connect with us early in your restructuring process as this allows ample time to plan and implement effective support for affected employees. Our services and expertise can add value through the planning and organisational design phases of change and our expertise can assist as you develop capability in your leadership to lead through this period.
Equally, we are very responsive to urgent requirements and can quickly mobilise to support an individual who has recently experienced redundancy.
While outplacement services won't directly find you a job, they equip you with the tools and strategies to successfully navigate the job market and secure your next role, often more quickly and with greater outcomes than compared to individuals who do not receive outplacement support.
