Corporate Counseling Associates Expands Services to Help Companies Weather Tough Economy
New York (PRWEB) May 13, 2009 -- As businesses struggle with the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, Corporate Counseling Associates (CCA) has expanded its HR consulting and EAP counseling services (http://www.corporatecounseling.com/channels_new/services/eap.html) to assist organizations caught in the fallout.
Wide-ranging and complex employee issues are overwhelming businesses and their HR departments—no surprise when viewed in the context of collapsing financial and real estate markets, as well as subsequent bankruptcies and downsizings. HR professionals are managing not only mass layoffs, but also the continued engagement of staff left behind.
Employee support services (http://www.corporatecounseling.com) such as survivor counseling, stress management, financial counseling and health and wellness initiatives are just a few of the tools CCA is providing to help clients. At the C-level, CCA is assisting leadership on retaining key talent, engaging in advancement planning initiatives and providing change management support so their organizations are poised for better days. The firm is also providing individual consultation and coaching to enhance management’s effectiveness.
CCA’s focus on current client needs include:
* Downsizing support services for management and HR teams to navigate through transitions.
* Litigation prevention services to ready HR to communicate terminations wisely.
* Employment discrimination prevention to ensure that selection, promotion and developmental processes withstand professional scrutiny
* Counseling services for departing employees.
* Support for “survivors” with a focus on moving back towards productivity.
* Web services and seminars focused on financial issues, retirement, coping in times of uncertainty and stress management.
* Coaching for business leaders to drive business forward.
* Training and learning programs on critical “must know” competencies for management to reduce litigation risk and enhance leadership.
“CCA has been in the trenches with business and HR leaders during the past nine months,” said Vice President Georgia Critsimilios. “We’ve counseled record numbers of employees and family members who are experiencing all types of psychological issues, mainly increased stress, anxiety and depression related to the economy, their roles and their accountabilities. Business leaders need to take the organization to the next level and HR needs to support that initiative.”
The firm is also hosting a series of complimentary seminars designed to help HR excel during this challenging time. The first was Change Management, held on March 26. The next is “HR Leadership: Sink or Swim”, scheduled for Thursday, May 21 in New York.

Additionally, CCA experts have written white papers on the following topics:
* Strategic use of EAP during a difficult economy
* Helping HR manage downsizings
* Helping HR move past downsizing – executive and organizational resilience
