Background

Clifford Chance have had a partnership with Renovo dating back several years. Faced with an organisational restructure aimed at driving operational efficiencies in a number of key areas, Clifford Chance sought to re-engage with Renovo to help support a range of different employees who faced redundancy as a result of the changes. Coming as they did during the pandemic, employees found themselves in the midst of one of the most unique and challenging job markets in recent memory.

Sector: Legal
Location: London
Employees: 2760

The challenge

The situation was more complicated than normal given that many of the employees impacted had long service with the firm and theirroles were quite specialist.
There were a few teams impacted by the changes and there was a concern that employees might struggle to find similar positions in the job market.
It was important to provide employees with the opportunity to consider whether a complete career change might be right for them.

The solution

Clifford Chance selected Renovo’s Professional Plus Programme, ensuring consistency and fairness across the board for all employees.
All employees were given 6 months unlimited support from their own Career Coach ensuring a highly personalised experience with support built around each employee’s unique needs.
The coaching was supported with a full year’s access to Renovo’s industry leading online tools including Workfriend, our online workshops and 24/7 wellbeing support.

What Clifford Chance said:

“We were really impressed and pleased with the level of support we received, right from the inception of the project. We engaged Renovo early on in the process and got our requirements to them early and from there the support was set up very speedily. So, when we were in a position to start consulting with the impacted groups, we had everything set up and ready to go. Pretty much immediately we could move to the awareness sessions which were conducted very professionally and were very well received by employees who found them really useful. This helped with the success of the project.”

What participants said

“I was totally impressed by their positive and professional approach... and over the subsequent weeks/months, I was gently but expertly guided and motivated towards my next career step. The support with developing a top tier LinkedIn profile and advice on networking and planning were perhaps the most practically useful, but more important was the encouragement and ad hoc assistance throughout the process. An outstanding experience, thank you.”
