New Delhi February 24th 2009 – BTI Consultants and The Ayers Group launch Outplacement to the business community through inaugural seminars held in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
The collaboration between BTI and The Ayers Group is designed to help companies adapt to change through guidance on serious issues pertaining to human resources and organization development. The following services will be deployed through its respective offices in the region:
- Individual Career Transitioning Services
- Senior Executive Programs
- Group Career Transitioning Services
- Retirement Planning Program
“For every worker affected, there is a family affected. For every worker, there are five or six other people whose income is stopped, whose future is threatened,” said Terry Ebert, Managing Director of The Ayers Group. “Beyond the social responsibility that companies have to the employees and their families, there are real benefits to the companies and their shareholders. These benefits include retention of workers that the organization needs to keep to continue operations, maintenance of the company’s "brand equity," and the important aspect of being seen as an employer of choice so that the organization is able to attract workers when the economy turns around.”
“We are excited to bring the Ayers Group into Asia.” Says Laletha Nithiyanandan, Vice President APAC, BTI Consultants. “I am particularly impressed with Bill Ayers, founder of The Ayers Group’s philosophy of helping people ‘land safely’.”
“This partnership is really perfect in that it draws upon the experience and expertise of the Ayers Group while tapping into the network and cross-cultural understanding that BTI Consultants have within the region,” said, Nithiyanandan. “This is key for Outplacement, in our Asian culture, jobs mean more than paychecks, title and status.”
