We Hire Your Former Employees to Return as Consultants so You Can Recover Lost Knowledge

Recover Lost Experience

Returning consultants provide valuable perspectives when reviewing designs, submitting proposals, and completing mission-critical projects.

Retain Key Employees

Understand the demands of today’s changing workforce. Learn about culture, policies, and practices for retention, and train and mentor your people.

Use Contingent Labor Bridges

Go from surviving to thriving with an expert consultant. Or, if a project is not a key part of your strategic vision, use contingent labor to keep your staff focused.

Are you losing key employees for any of these reasons?

Experts Retiring

Is your business losing critical knowledge and experience when retirees exit? The loss of institutional memory can risk continuity in operations and strategic initiatives​​​​.

Restrictive Work from Home Policies

Are key employees leaving because they want to work from home in ways that your company policies do not accommodate?

Job Hopping

Does your company invest in employees who "job hop" every few years because they want a variety of work experiences?

Salary and Benefits Limitations

Do your human resources policies limit the salary offering and benefits mix to win or keep key people?

Waiting Periods

Are former employees interested in coming back but by the time the "waiting period" is over, they have moved on to other opportunities?

Employee Misclassification

Are you using 1099 independent contractors but are not properly distinguishing them from W-2 employees.

How do you feel when you lose a key employee?

“Managers often don’t know what they have lost until after the expert leaves — and by then, it may be difficult to recover… And the price tag associated with such losses were estimated to be as much as 20 times the more visible, tangible costs of recruitment and training.”

Our Emeritus Program Meets a Critical Need

At Gentry Professional Services, we know you want to complete quality work on schedule and under budget. That means you need the right people on your team to carry out your organization’s mission. However, the most experienced industry professionals are retiring at a rapid pace, resulting in a Silver Tsunami of lost institutional knowledge and employee turnover. COVID-19 early retirements made the problem even more challenging. Companies are struggling to compensate for the sudden absence of key employees.

We formed the Emeritus Program of Gentry Professional Services with that in mind. Using our streamlined process and innovative employment model, we work with your company to bring in the retirees, alumni, or industry specialist(s) you need, enabling you to fill knowledge gaps, outsource tasks, complete ongoing client projects that are beyond your core competencies, and train your employees in critical skills.
