Managing Your Career
Our experienced Career Coaches use a variety of tools and techniques to support you in reflecting on your career, work/life balance and aspirations to help you map your future career and goals.
Career Energy
Adding energy to the career life-cycle of your employees is a catalyst in the development and retention of the talent within your organisation. In making your organisation a ‘great place to work’ you will increase staff motivation and improve productivity by growing your most valuable asset—your people.
Coaching
Whatever stage your people are at, their goals and aspirations are more likely to be realised through individual coaching. PDT’s coaches provide an objective framework within which the coachee finds and achieves their desired outcomes.
PDT also offer an accredited Coaching & Mentoring programme, enabling you to skill your own personnel in supporting and developing colleagues through coaching methodology.

Mid-life planning and retirement support
PDT are experts in the field of life stage planning, with an established reputation for helping people look forward to their work exit and are advocates of forward planning at all life stages. We equip individuals to face the real, practical issues of their future, offering a wide range of development from financial and estate planning to career management and individual counselling.
Looking after your staff as they leave (outplacement and redundancy)
Any company going through a period of change or restructuring or relocation is more than likely to have to consider the possibility of displacing headcount.
PDT programmes focus on the needs of the individual and provide employers with professional, quality support for their people which is both cost– and time-effective. PDT offer solutions to suit client culture for maximum benefit to all parties. By supporting your employees through outplacement, you will sustain motivation for those who remain whilst those leaving take with them a positive approach to their next role.
Managing change
Our change management experts are ideally placed to support outplacement operations, merger, downsizing, relocation, flotation and other major change. Our teams have faced a wide range of change management challenges, focusing on the effect of such changes on productivity and motivation in order to maintain organisational performance.
