The success and acceptance of TTG's Opening New Doors® job-search/career-management system is well documented. Since its introduction, this program has become the industry standard for effective, low-cost outplacement assistance. Both our Staff/Management and Hourly/Non-Exempt versions of Opening New Doors® have received the highest praise from human resource executives, as well as from employees receiving and using the program. In addition, a Spanish language version, Descubrir Nuevas Oportunidades®, is available; the only comprehensive job-search program written and recorded entirely in generic Spanish.

The following examples demonstrate the numerous ways in which corporate America is currently using Opening New Doors®.

Client Case Histories Opening New Doors® … when used as a stand-alone, self-directed program

"Opening New Doors" is an excellent outplacement tool for price and performance. The tapes are soothing and reassuring. The fact that recipients feel like they have their own package, and can deal with it on their own terms and conditions, is of extreme value."

Vice President, of Human Resources TOSHIBA AMERICA INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC.

A National Title Insurance Company

An acquisition resulted in over 1400 employee redundancies in over 600 offices nationwide. The geographical diversity of these employees precluded group outplacement for middle and lower levels.

This firm chose to use Opening New Doors® (Management/Staff), with its toll-free Counselor Support Hotline, as the career transition program for its middle-level employees. Opening New Doors® (Hourly/Non-Exempt) was also used for its lower level employees. Each person was given a copy of the program at their time of departure.

This unique outplacement process helped to smoothly and efficiently facilitate a complicated and difficult process, and at a cost that was well within budget. This client continues to use Opening New Doors® as the need arises.

Additionally, since there was not a sufficiently large Human Resources staff to handle terminations at over 600 locations, TTG Consultants produced a video, A Guide to Effective Separations, to be used by line managers involved with termination. This video, along with a companion handbook, help guide managers through the sensitive task of employee termination. A Guide to Effective Separation is now available to any client requesting it.

A Material Development Store Retailer

When this company announced the largest single downsizing in it's history -- and one of the largest in U.S. history -- it chose, after a lengthy comparative study, TTG Consultants'Opening New Doors® (Hourly/Non-Exempt) program. A toll-free Counselor Support Hotline was added to assist thousands of rank-and-file employees to find new employment quickly and efficiently.

Petroleum Refiner and Retailer

Four facilities were sold to another company. The acquiring company planned to interview hundreds of employees to determine whether they would be retained. In an attempt to assist these employees, each were provided with a copy of Opening New Doors® prior to the interview, so that they could be much more effective in these discussions and negotiations.

OPENING NEW DOORS® …when used in conjunction with Group Outplacement "Opening New Doors" is a great product and is a MUST for any company that has to go through the ordeal of laying off staff.

Food Additive Manufacturer

It became necessary to close a Los Angeles manufacturing facility. This required addressing the career transition needs of its low, middle and executive-level employees, as well as the needs of a large Spanish speaking workforce. While management wanted to provide career transition assistance for all of its employees, regardless of level of responsibility, severe cost constraints were in place. The goal of cost effective job-search counseling was achieved by using all three versions of Opening New Doors®. TTG facilitated a series of workshops, including a number in bi-lingual Spanish/English. This extensive use of Descubrir Nuevas Oportunidades®, received a high approval rating among Hispanic employees.

Since the initial "first-stage" reduction, TTG has conducted a number of additional workshops, leading to the permanent closure of this facility.

Manufacturer of Garden/Lawn Care Resources

This was a plant closing, with considerable diversity of employee levels and ethnicity. In addition to one-on-one outplacement counseling, TTG conducted a series of workshops utilizing both Opening New Doors® and Descrubrir Nuevas Oportunidades®. The early distribution of these programs (and the opportunity for pre-workshop study) resulted in substantial time and cost savings, and considerably enhanced the effectiveness of the workshops.

Hi-Tech Electronics and Aerospace Manufacturer

This company began a multi-year nationwide workforce reduction. Each displaced employee was given a copy of Opening New Doors®. Each was then invited to attend an on-site workshop conducted by either TTG Consultants, or a TTG trained member of the Human Resources Department. TTG has facilitated group outplacement workshops in McLean, Virginia; Houston, Texas; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Lanham, Maryland and Camarillo, California.

Hi-Tech Electronics and Aerospace Manufacturer

This was the company's first ever downsizing. Faced with short notice and a limited budget, TTG drew from its extensive and flexible menu of outplacement services to create varied and cost-effective programs. These addressed the needs of every discharged employee--from executive to plant maintenance personnel. TTG also provided Spanish language facilitation for Hispanic employees. In every case, whether it involved one-on-one counseling or a group outplacement workshop, Opening New Doors®, with its Counselor Support Hotline, provided the foundation for a successful job and/or career transition.
