Human Resources Consulting

Information technology, mergers, acquisitions, divestiture, downsizing and many other issues have created a need for rapid necessary corporate change.

We are one of the few consulting firms to facilitate and implement strategic business solutions designed around people development.  We can help companies grow revenue and profits by implementing strategies through programs that:

  • Evaluate employees against competition and growth needs.
  • Manage re-engineering, restructuring or down-sizing where desirable.
  • Implement measurable plans to raise employee productivity.
  • Evaluate current staffing from the customer perspective.
  • Train your people to improve skills and effectiveness.

Because the issue of growth is usually one of developing individual strategy, the solutions we develop are custom designed rather than "off-the-shelf" products.  Plans are pragmatic with focus on implementation and achieving goals.  Once an organization is operating satisfactorily on its own, it will be in position to coordinate targets with functions, such as marketing, finance, customer service and operations, to increase revenue and profits.

GSAI Executive Career Transition Program

Unique Needs of Senior Executives

It is our experience that senior executives are best served with a comprehensive, custom designed program.  Their career status may have changed due to a merger or acquisition, early retirement, or a change at the top and the desire to try something new - such as service, not-for-profit or entrepreneurship - raising some capital and buying their own company.  Over the past thirty years GSAI has assisted thousands of top executives worldwide to explore alternative career paths as well as standard senior level job transition opportunities.

Whether exploring their present industry, new avenues, a change in lifestyle or, negotiating a new employment agreement, we have top professionals to help.  Our history of successfully transitioning hundreds of senior executives per year - including all the standard features normally expected, provides each executive with a unique program that fills a special senior management need in a field where much is promised and often not well executed.

 

What makes us different?

  • We are the only firm in the US to employ former senior managers of top Fortune 500 companies who have themselves made successful career transitions.
  • We are the only Career Transition firm with a top 1% worldwide executive search practice.  Because we are leaders in the Executive Search world, we have contacts within the top firms and recruiters and also make personal introductions on specific assignments.  Through our more than forty offices worldwide, executives can access professionals handling searches never seen without our program. 
  • We are the only Career Transition firm with an international mergers and acquisitions practice to help identify opportunities with smaller, more entrepreneurial companies.  Our data center can tap into a variety of resources to provide the latest information on companies and networks to pursue or acquire, as well as listings of every top search firm in the world.  Whether looking for a strategic partner for our M&A clients, a senior level executive for one of our search clients or a new career opportunity with a senior level executive, research helps our clients by being better informed, to drive the process.
  • Our advanced research department drives all practices from Executive Search through Mergers and Acquisitions and will work closely with the executive to explore the hidden job market based on his or her objectives as well as explore more traditional sources.

Executive Coaching & Career Management

Our Executive Coaching and Development program is a cost-effective service developed to address management skills and talents to better align individual operating style and resources with the needs of the organization and those with whom the individual will interact.

The value of coaching to develop excellence and team attitude in sports and artistic performance is well recognized.  Coaching can be equally valuable in the business world.  At senior levels, occasions for coaching generally fall into the following categories:

  • Assimilation of new executives into a new culture.
  • Development of high potential executives by improving communication and management style with others in the organization.
  • Business coaching or mentoring for executives with new responsibilities or significant changes.
  • Remedial work with talented executives who are lacking communication, business or interpersonal skills.
  • Transitional counseling to assist executives with career development issues or to help executives successfully exit an organization.
  • Assisting senior executives with defining and realizing their legacies.

GSAI consultants work with human resources executives as well as line and staff managers to define coaching parameters, timing and anticipated outcomes.

Executive coaching is an investment for the organization paying dividends in organizational and personal effectiveness.  The coach brings an objective point of view, excellent listening skills and continuing behavioral analysis to redirect or reinforce individual expectations and company initiatives.

Our coaching leaders can help to create fundamental, sustainable change in effectiveness and develop greater individual potential while retaining valuable talents and knowledge within the organization.

Executive Search

Many search firms can fill executive positions.  To identify the best person available requires special search skills and a well-developed relationship base.  A thorough search requires in-depth understanding of industry needs by experienced professionals with access to a vast network of executive talent.  This understanding, combined with a creative approach to problem solving, reflects an expedient, clear, hands-on style.  For more information on our search practice, please visit Stanton Chase International.
