The future of work is changing rapidly, and the need for upskilling has never been greater.

‍

To help individuals navigate their careers, including the rapidly changing world of work, Thrive has created a methodology for our programs and platform experience, which we call the Thrive Approach.

A major component of our approach is how Thrive assesses where every individual is in their career wellness journey and plans a course of action to help them advance and grow in their careers. This approach can be applied no matter what the end goal is for the individual.

Companies work with Thrive to support their employees at various stages of the employee lifecycle, including those who require outplacement services due to restructuring or layoffs, those who are given internal redeployment support to find another role within the organization, and even those whom organizations want to retain and develop internally by enhancing their skill set to perform better in their roles, pursue more senior roles, and plan for the future of work with role evolution.

Regardless of the use case, the Thrive Approach can be applied to every experience to identify where the individual is, where they want to be, and how Thrive can partner with your organization to help them get there. Below is an example of what our approach looks like when it comes to traditional job search. This experience can be augmented and tailored for every use case, such as an individual wanting to start their own business, redeploy to another department of the organization, or simply wanting to develop their career in their existing role.
