“This is a new model for transition services, one that is geared to providing strong returns for both employers and employees,” said Mark Squiers, executive managing director, ACS Human Resources Outsourcing services. “By eliminating costly traditional services like office space and group seminars, which have been found to be of low value to employees, the focus is on aggressively helping workers find a new job.
