AIMS SWITZERLAND

As a founding member of AIMS International in 1992, Switzerland has been strongly involved in the organisation’s development since the start.

As a member of the business community of a multilingual country, home to many global organizations and companies, AIMS International Switzerland has a long tradition of handling complex assignments, searching across multiple locations, and dealing with different cultures whilst maintaining close proximity with customers.

We are committed to serving our customers with the highest quality, positioning ourselves more as a business partner than as a consultant. Our aim is to provide solutions covering all levels in relation to talent management and development, enabling our clients to be more efficient, agile, and well-equipped in a VUCA environment. At AIMS, we understand the importance of having an approach that takes into account the issues related to sustainable development, not only of physical resources but also of the human ones. This is why we have integrated this aspect into all our processes, as we are convinced that we need to be sustainable and socially responsible from now on to be competitive. We have also understood that only a holistic and integrative reading of the company, i.e. one that takes into account all the organisational levels of the company, such as mission, vision & strategic goals, culture & values, can lead to the creation of processes and working methods that can be effective and lasting in the long term.

For the employer

An outplacement program allows the employer to meet the standards of social responsibility towards its employees.

In this way, employees are treated in a fair and ethical manner. This kind of service is at the very heart of sustainable human resources management and development. It is therefore important for the employer to not only successfully recruit and integrate new employees, but also to ensure their successful departure or exit.

It also allows the employer to protect his reputation both internally and externally.

Internally, employees who are not affected by dismissals can continue to be productive and motivated because they are aware that the company is managing the restructuring process fairly, i.e. in a caring, efficient and sustainable manner, while maintaining good relationships, and promoting communication and transparency with all its employees.

Externally, outplacement programmes strengthen the attractiveness and perceived social responsibility and exemplarity of companies. They also promote a positive image with various stakeholders such as shareholders, customers, suppliers, etc., as well as on social networks and the web in general.

For the person concerned by the outplacement program

Allows the person involved to rebound.

When we are made redundant, our need for security, inherent in every human being, is directly affected. It is therefore important that we find our bearings again in order to overcome the loss, to understand and accept the situation and return to a “less sinuous”, straighter path, with full awareness and knowledge of who we are, what we want and don’t want and thus be able to formulate a new professional project.

Offers a safe, non-judgmental and solution-oriented space.

Offers professional and psychological support to help the person go through all the stages of the transition and find the courage to see both the positive and negative aspects.

Increases self-confidence and positiveness through a better understanding of one’s personality, deepest aspirations, needs and value system.

Allows to enter a laboratory where the person can explore, develop their creativity, imagination, get out of their comfort zone and make choices that are more and more relevant and in tune with oneself.

Allows one to keep moving and provides direction.

Why work with AIMS International Switzerland?

We offer a unique outplacement service, resulting from the combination of three experts, working hand in hand to support the individual in developing a job search strategy that is in line with their personality, interests and core values.

An experienced coach, with a background in psychology, whose aim is to provide a space in which the person can feel listened to and reassured, as well as professional support on which they can rely to get through all the stages of the professional transition (overcoming the job loss / area of uncertainty / new beginning). First, one analyses their self-image and their projected image. Then, after a skills assessment, the person will become aware of their strengths and areas in need of development. After an analysis of their emotional and social skills, they will also be able to understand their emotional and relational patterns and recognise what obstacles may hinder them in their professional development and how to overcome them. The analysis of values and motivational drivers will enable the person to become aware of their basic needs and expectations in relation to their future job. Once there is clarity about the different aspects of their personality, interests and basic needs, they will be in a position to set realistic goals and make more responsible, sustainable, coherent and meaningful choices.

An Executive Search consultant with a thorough knowledge of the labour market, the various industries and the expectations of employers. They accompany the individual in the development of a job search strategy that includes the development of an individual action plan and the appropriate use of networking techniques. They are also in the best position to simulate a job interview with the person concerned and to give them relevant and concrete feedback on it. This practical information will enable the person to gain self-confidence, be prepared and have the right attitude during job interviews. They also accompany the person during contract negotiations and to prepare and debrief contacts with potential employers. They can also offer support when the person starts in their new position (onboarding).

An expert in the use and promotion on social networks, professional networks/portals and in self-marketing. They will provide all the advice and techniques to make the person visible, to increase their online presence and above all, to awaken the interest and curiosity of potential employers. They will support the person in the development and valorisation of an application file that takes into account his or her talents, singularity (personal brand) and added value.
