AT&T Mobility

AT&T is the largest provider of local and long distance telephone services, DSL Internet access and wireless service in the United States with 71.4 million wireless customers and more than 150 million total customers. We all know the company. But how familiar are we with human resources?

Patricia Rantkowski, Senior Staffing Manager of Small Business Sales, began her career in corporate compensation where she was responsible for job descriptions, salary surveys, bonus plans, salary ranges, promotions, bonus plans, employee incentive plans and compensation. She has negotiated benefits plans at three of her previous companies and has extensive knowledge on disability and FMLA.

“We are the nation's first, oldest and premier outplacement consulting organization. Our firm has a proven track record of successfully providing top quality outplacement programs for executives, middle managers and long-term or highly valued employees. We pioneered programs for plant closings and large volume reductions with a determined focus on results.

Historically, our clients find new jobs in a median time of 3.2 months (compared with an average of five months as cited by The Wall Street Journal). Consistently over the years, 85 to 90% of our clients find equivalent or better jobs. We have offices in every major and minor city in the United States and work with clients in over sixty-three locations in Canada.”

What makes us different?

“Our programs are dramatically different than what you will find elsewhere. From start to finish, we are focused on results. We implement a process that actually reduces the search time for your employees rather than an emphasis on busy work, which creates the illusion of accomplishment.

Our business development and transition planning executives are kept entirely separate from the counseling staff that provides one-to-one, day-to-day support for our clients (your employees). This means your company receives focused and professional support on planning both individual and group reductions. It also means that our clients (your employees) get experienced counselors, dedicated to achieving each client’s objectives.

We offer superior counseling resources, recognizing that each of our clients is unique, with individual employment goals and special needs. All our counselors are full time employees required to complete and extensive certification process before they are permitted to work with our clients. Franchised outplacement and temporary or contract counseling shortchanges clients because typically these providers lack both experience and long-term commitment to the industry.”

John Reyes—Managing Director of Challenger Gray and Christmas—will give us inside info about executive coaching.
