Organizations > Our Distinctives

We are the only national provider offering in-depth, one-on-one coaching as the foundation for every individual program. This means that individuals in transition receive personalized assistance from a senior-level consultant throughout every step of their transitions.

We take the time to listen carefully to your employees, bringing out their specific competencies. We offer feedback and other assistance to ensure that they have an accurate perception of themselves and the marketplace. This personal coaching far surpasses the instruction offered in a group setting and enables individuals to achieve positions where they can truly excel. And when your employees find satisfying new positions, your organization benefits in terms of improved morale, retention, and recruitment.

The Brighton Group approaches career transition as a marketing campaign. This distinction enables us to help people discover and promote their unique market value. We work closely with candidates to assist them in identifying their talents and capabilities, then cast them in market terms. Crafting a compelling positioning statement and strategic marketing plan is key to this process. Armed with a focused strategy, individuals are able to enhance their career options by telling their best story to the best market in the best way.

Because every organization has unique needs, The Brighton Group is committed to providing a custom outplacement solution in each and every situation. A senior-level consultant collaborates with you to define the direction and focus of how we deliver services to your employees. Together we outline the desired results and develop a plan for achieving them.

Your solution may include a variety of outplacement programs, any of which may be customized to better support your employees and your organization. Our open-ended campaign management programs, for example, are unique in being service-defined rather than time-limited. In these programs, the employee in transition, along with his or her consultant, co-designs a program that will best serve his or her needs.

Another feature of The Brighton Group is our cost-saving pooled programs option — in which we create a pool of program hours that you can allocate among your transitioning employees. This option is available if you purchase individual outplacement programs for multiple people. In our experience, individuals typically need different levels of assistance, so pooled programs help you get the maximum return on your investment.

Two other types of services are available from The Brighton Group:

Our consultants are business executives who have the experience and savvy to provide even the most accomplished professionals with leadership throughout their career transitions.
