Career Transition Support, Tailored to the individual

Prima has completely re-invented outplacement support in Australia and New Zealand. Our evidence-based programs draw on Design Theory to build a career transition around each individual – not around a template.

Cutting-edge innovations

Evidence-based, by design

Programs built on Design Theory and two and a half decades of practice – then tailored to the individual in front of us.

Eight stages, from before the announcement to well after it.

You will have one senior point of contact throughout, with everything tracked in Prima EXCELerator so you always know where each person is up to.

01

Seamless integration

We integrate with your HR team, systems and timelines so the program feels like part of your process, not a bolt-on.

Pre-change assistance

Planning and preparation before anything is announced – including early access to career support for anyone particularly anxious.

04

Notification training

Managers trained and rehearsed for the conversations they are about to have.

05

On-the-day support

Consultants on site or on call the moment conversations happen.

06

Customised reporting

Before the exit

Support during consultation, not only after it.

Long consultation, redeployment and handover periods are where most of the damage is done – to wellbeing, engagement and absenteeism alike. Our Support Through Change programme puts proactive interventions alongside EAP, and equips people leaders to run the period well.

Early access
Anxious team members can start the career transition programme early, or take one or two preliminary sessions, at no extra cost.
Leader briefings
Practical interventions the leadership group builds with us, not a slide pack.
Lunch & Learn series
Growth industries, AI skills, redeployment pathways and financial planning.
Finishing on a High
A workbook-led plan that shifts focus from what is being lost to what comes next.
