Vancouver Outplacement and Career Transition
Managing workforce change with care, clarity, and confidence
Organizational change is never easy—especially when it involves the loss of valued employees. Even experienced leadership teams can find layoffs and dismissals emotionally charged, complex, and disruptive.
At VisionPath, we understand that you want change to be handled respectfully and professionally, with minimal impact on your people, productivity, and reputation.
Minimizing the impact of layoffs requires more than process—it requires compassion, preparation, and experienced support.
