Hold on to your best people
The war for talent is a worldwide challenge. New ways of working, uncertainty and economic pressure have made ambitious professionals increasingly mobile.
This leaves skills gaps at a time when organisations need to retain knowledge, networks and valuable working relationships.
The average cost of replacing a professional employee has been estimated at 213% of their annual salary. That equates to £213,000 for an employee earning £100,000 a year, before accounting for lost knowledge and the effect on productivity.
Losing talent is costly. Pre-emptive intervention is the solution.

A connected employee experience

- Career Refinery Portal & App access
- Career confidence and progress measurement
- Wellbeing and mental health support
Career Refinery Portal & App
Blending psychometrics, e-learning, personal branding and transition support, the Career Refinery combines interactive tools with practical resources for every stage of an employee’s career.
It promotes self-development, supports mental health and enhances wellbeing. The result is a sustainable way to build knowledge, confidence and self-awareness at every level.
Career & Executive Coaching
Many professionals value external coaching and the insight of an experienced adviser outside their organisation. An impartial careers expert provides a safe space to discuss ideas, concerns and ambitions.
Leaders must balance business delivery with supporting their teams and providing clear direction. Our coaches support people from the C-suite to back-office functions, helping them overcome challenges and perform at their best.
The more you invest in your people, the greater the returns.
Measuring impact
The Career Refinery’s intuitive My Career Journey function assesses employee confidence against specific attributes, provides relevant learning programmes and recommends activities to complete.
A follow-up assessment measures progress, helping you track trends in career confidence and monitor the programme’s effect.
Workshops & Webinars
We work with organisations that want to provide ongoing career support for their people. Interactive group workshops and in-depth masterclasses are an efficient way to help a larger number of employees at once.
Each session equips your employees with practical skills and greater confidence to support their career success.
Wellbeing & Mental Health Support
City CV provides practical and emotional support through regular mental health masterclasses and almost 100 wellbeing-related learning modules and articles within the Career Refinery.
Our Wellbeing & Mental Health Support Helpline provides a safe space outside the workplace where employees can discuss concerns about their personal or professional lives.
We connect employees with a wellbeing coach for short-term, 30-minute sessions and advice on further referrals where necessary.
