Leading outplacement firm, DRAKE BEAM MORIN, to offer services in the Philippines

Companies operating in the Philippines can now avail of the proven methodology of the world's leading provider of outplacement and transitioning services.

Drake Beam Morin, the world's leading Outplacement and Career Management consultancy, is proud to announce the opening of its new office in Philippines, the company's 30th office opening in the Asia Pacific Region. Drake Beam Morin or DBM, has over 30 years' experience in Outplacement and now has over 200 offices in 43 countries worldwide.

While only new to the Philippines, DBM pioneered the concept of Outplacement in the US in 1967 and today it is a well established business in the US, the UK, Europe, Latin America and many parts of the Asia Pacific. Outplacement is a benefit provided by organizations to their employees who will be or have recently been retrenched. The service is designed to assist individuals who have been retrenched to find the ideal job. Through a process of self-analysis of skills, personal values, work preferences, future goals and learning the tools to conduct an effective job search, highly experienced consultants provide job-consulting assistance to individuals. Further, the process helps reduce the time it takes to find the ideal job, and works to ensure that individuals find the right job, not just any job.

Mr Mario Gatus, who will lead DBM's Philippines operations as President, says that Outplacement is often misunderstood as the placement of workers outside the Philippines, rather than helping individuals to prepare to conduct their job searches. Mr. Gatus is confident that as Filipinos begin to understand the value of Outplacement to their businesses and the benefits for retrenched employees, it will become an integral part of the local business process.

"In today's increasingly competitive business environment, even the best-managed and most profitable businesses may at times be compelled to retrench staff," says Mr Gatus. "The consequences of such actions can have significant impact on an organization's bottom line, due to loss of productivity from remaining workers. By taking care of any employees who lose their jobs as a result of organizational change or downsizing, organizations demonstrate their concern to employees that remain. This is important in maintaining the momentum of the business during the change."

DBM's President - Asia, Mr Larry Cambron, says: "We are very excited to be expanding our presence into The Philippines. With change now a constant in business, DBM has seen rapid growth across the Asia Pacific Region in recent years. Establishing delivery capabilities in The Philippines will enable us to meet the needs of our multinational clients who have offices here, as well as the needs of local companies."

Mr. Mario Gatus is a former Partner of SGV & Co./Arthur Andersen & Co. (Management Consulting and later Partner in Charge of Human Resources), where he worked for 32 years, prior to his retirement in 1995. Mr. Gatus is also an active civic leader and is involved in promoting a number of social and community development projects.

Drake Beam Morin Philippines., Inc. has their office at the 12th floor of the Pacific Star Building in Makati City. Mr. Mario Gatus can be reached at telephone nos. 878-8418.
