DBM Inc - Workplace Transitions

DBM is a global human capital management services firm. Each year we help more than 7,000 organizations and 250,000 individuals manage difficult and important business and career changes – what we call ‘transitions’. Some of these transitions occur because of whole-organization change; others happen on an ongoing basis as people enter, leave and take on new positions within an organization, or as they manage their careers.

TRANSFORMATIONAL TRANSITIONS

DBM helps organizations implement transformational transitions such as mergers, strategic restructurings, and whole-scale organizational change, with organizational improvement transitions such as consolidations, off-shoring, new process implementations and efficiency improvements, and with capability transitions, such as on-boarding, internal role changes, retirement planning and talent development. We also help organizations plan and implement outplacement programs, which often require multinational coordination and country-specific or local market knowledge for successful implementation.

We help individual clients get the most from their career transitions, including when they join or leave an organization or face new challenges within their current career or job. We also provide university graduates, oftentimes from MBA and Executive MBA programs, with transition services to help secure or advance their business career. Specifically, DBM offers individuals outplacement, transition advice and business coaching.

DBM provides transition management services around the world across industry sectors, in private and public companies, not-for-profits and governments.
