“It is without hesitation that I recommend CareerJoy as a top firm in providing career transition services. While in the process of winding down our organization, we surveyed staff to determine what types of transition services were important to them. It was based on this survey that we interviewed CareerJoy to see if they were a firm that could meet our unique needs. Not only did we select CareerJoy as our preferred firm to work with, they surpassed our expectations in their planning and delivery of services.”
— Carrie McVeigh, Manager, Human Resources & Labour Relations at Envirotest Canada (AirCare Program)
As an employer, you want to improve employee purpose, confidence, and productivity. Bottom line: if you improve these, you improve your organization.
Being proactive means that as an employer you offer new employee success programs, high potential leadership programs, leadership team programs, outplacement services, employee workshops and events, or organization-specific career development programs. Learn more about how CareerJoy can assist your organization with everything from onboarding new staff to retirement transition coaching/succession planning, and everything in between.
Over 13 years, CareerJoy has worked with more than 500 corporate clients nationally, such as Government of Canada, Scouts Canada, Calgary Flames, Vega, PWC, & more. We have a robust real-time sense of the economy, growth industries, and demand for skills in the marketplace. We work closely with recruiters in high-demand and emerging sectors and careers, and are happy to leverage our extensive network of professionals on behalf of our clients.
We are unique in the marketplace; our approach is personal, authentic and practical and our framework enables individuals to assess, identify, and build on their unique abilities and skill-sets.
Our assessment tools are chosen from those we’ve developed and the best from outside – we customize the mix tools and personalize our programs to ensure all of our clients maximize their time with us. Because each individual has distinctive career history and needs, our services are multi-dimensional and we have built a team of career specialists from varied backgrounds, so that we can get the best “fit” in terms of both industry and style of coaching.
CareerJoy provides coaching and leadership programs throughout the entire employee career lifecycle, from entry level and administrative professionals, all the way through to senior level and executive level professionals.

Our on-site CareerClasses are available in a full selection of delivery formats to allow for ease of employee scheduling. We also offer the option of highly effective “on demand” webinars for less accessible employees.
While start times will vary depending on each employee’s specific situation, we recommend starting the program as soon as possible. Clients currently on working notice have the added benefits of returning to their place of employment as well as their established networks in-between their scheduled sessions. Beginning the program early builds confidence in what is typically a time fraught with “unknowns”, decreasing stress and enabling your employee to transfer knowledge more effectively.

There is substantive research showing the value coaches have in today’s workplace. A good coach can serve as a sounding board for an executive’s frustration, while simultaneously pushing the client to modify his/her behavior even when feeling provoked (Koonce, 1994). Coaches can help executives better “read” interpersonal situations and be more effective interpersonally in their interactions with colleagues (Hall et al., 1999). Coaches can give senior managers specific pointers on when to stand firm and when to bend, and perhaps most importantly, how to negotiate or compromise more effectively (Koonce, 1994).
Leadership coaches can also be instrumental in helping senior managers develop junior colleagues more effectively as well as allowing junior colleagues to learn from their mistakes in a supportive manner while learning coaching skills themselves. (Dalton, et al., 1977; Kosan, 1999) Career coaches can help executives take a step back from their day-to-day behaviours to examine the cumulative overall impact they are having on both their colleagues and superiors (Snyder, 1995).
Our philosophy in one line is “Helping professionals to reach their full potential.” You and your team are not “human capital” or “assets.” Our drive to help people understand their unique strengths and treat them as individuals, backed by our innovative process and expert team of professionals, will support your team in reaching their full potential. You will have more engaged employees, less turnover and a more profitable company.
