Executive Career Transition Support

Since 2015, ImaginativeHR has provided a household travel and airline brand with tailored executive career transition services, coaching, and career reviews…

What was the requirement?

TUI faces evolving strategic and organisational shifts, which require customised support for senior leaders undergoing significant change. This includes executives departing the business who need highly individualised transition assistance, senior leaders requiring career review and development planning within TUI, and emerging leaders stepping into broader, more complex roles. The need for nuanced, confidential, and effective executive development and transition services was vital for both business continuity and individual success.

What we ran

Executive Career Transition Coaching: Personalised support for seasoned leavers, with a focus on reputation framing, networking strategy, and narrative building. Executive Career Reviews: Internal career enablement for high-performing executives, underpinned by assessment tools, 360° feedback, and career analytics. Executive Coaching: Development coaching for leaders taking on new strategic responsibilities, with emphasis on executive presence, stakeholder engagement, influencing skills, and strategic communication.

Individual programmes were rolled out across multiple business units and geographies. ImaginativeHR worked closely with senior HR and functional leaders to tailor coaching briefs and ensure cultural and strategic alignment. A flexible, on-demand model allowed TUI to commission coaching to meet a range of objectives, while maintaining a consistent standard of excellence. Regular reporting, confidentiality protocols, and coachee feedback loops ensured quality assurance and business alignment.

What happened

TUI valued the agility and insight that ImaginativeHR brought to both planned and reactive talent movements.
