SEQUENT ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP TO PROVIDE OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES FOR COMPANIES FACING DOWNSIZING
COLUMBUS, Ohio (April 20, 2009) -- Sequent, a consulting and outsourcing
firm, together with Dale Carnegie Training, an internationally recognized leader
in human resources and employee management, Humor Consultants, a firm
specializing in individual and professional growth, and Mindful Life/Mindful
Work, an experiential coaching/training consulting firm, have formed a strategic
partnership to provide Outplacement Services for companies facing downsizing.
"The goal of this partnership is to establish outplacement programs through a
network of consulting and outplacement firms that are collaborating to assist
companies and their employees as they face downsizing,"said Tim Reed,
managing director of Employment Services at Sequent. "By partnering with Dale
Carnegie Training, Humor Consultants and Mindful Life/Mindful Work, we
believe we have created unique and innovative outplacement programs that are
rich in both content and experience."
The outplacement programs that Sequent and its partners have developed help to
retrain and refocus employees. The programs include personal assessments,
practical skills training needed for career transition, as well as the personal
coaching out-of-work employees need to reinvent themselves and meet the
challenges of the changing business climate. The objective is to help companies
by providing their downsized employees with the skills and training they need to
get back to work quickly, even as they face the tightest job market in decades.
Sequent and its partners have already started marketing their practical programs to
local companies. "Our hope is that many companies will not only want to help
their own downsized employees, but will also want to give back to their
community in these challenging economic times,"said Reed. "We are excited to
be apart of such an important initiative to help get people back to work."
