A Bend In The Road

After many years' experience gained in assisting retrenched employees, Derek and Ross Mengel have established that unemployed individuals don't have the time or inclination to become embroiled in exhaustive dissertations on job search. Based on the premise that retrenchment is not the "end" of the road but, rather, a "bend" in the road, the book provides the reader with practical advice for the effective and speedy transition to a desired outcome through a journey of self-discovery and accomplishment.

Following the four phases of Separation, Preparation, Communication and Negotiation, this book also forms the foundation of DMA Group's Outplacement & Career Transition programmes, conducted either remotely or in person, with individuals or groups of individuals who are affected by retrenchment.

An "Action Steps" section at the end of each chapter, helping the reader stay focused on completing important tasks as they navigate their way through career transition
