Challenging times require tough decisions, but they do not require that you go at it alone. You have an obligation to protect your brand and reputation. Russell and Van Rook are here to help.
The most important word in every language is "Why".
Russell & Van Rook focuses on helping businesses build better foundations through transformational solutions and practices. We help executives and businesses overcome internal and external challenges.
In our experience, the biggest issue facing corporations is that failures are measured bottom up. Middle Management is the thermocline that obscures the facts. This is a symptom, not the cause. The hard truth is problems stem from poor leadership at the helm.
If you are looking for cheerleaders for your mediocre success, Russell & Van Rook is not for you. If you think your title equals leadership Russell & Van Rook is not for you. We do not ask the hard questions, we make you look at yourself in the mirror, and we encourage you to have an honest conversation with yourself.
The nature of our business and the timing of our intervention will never make us a household name, and we are most comfortable with that fact.
The longer you wait to make the call, the more insidious your problems become.
There are hundreds of questions we can help you answer. Contact Russell & Van Rook and ask us why.

The hardest thing to face is your truth. I have worked in different industries for over 30 years. I built my career simply by will, like many of you. I went to college, graduated and went to work. As a single guy in the 90's I had a lot to be proud about and managed to have lots of fun. Eventually as life goes boy meets girl and falls in love. Baby follows and house upgrades are mandatory. Career grows but it is never enough as costs of everything rise. So back to school for an MBA and countless other useless certifications that do not help you make your dollars stretch. Time is unforgiving. It does not care about family, health, or anything else. It does not pause. I wasted half my life away from those that I toiled so hard for, and in whose names I justified being absent. Eventually, I realized too late that the job I wanted was never going to be offered to me, unless I created it for myself.
The world has changed as it always has. Starting a business takes time and yes, it takes money. What you don't know is that it also takes real leadership. It means in essence, that you should forget about every boss good or bad you ever worked for. It means caring for yourself, caring for every interaction you have. Caring for everyone you hire, but also for their families. It means caring for your community at large and your environment. Leadership takes time. Even if you are not ready to make the leap, learning the right way will serve you well on your path.
Every service we offer, you probably know how to do. What you do with your time is up to you, but if we can help you have your success and most importantly, time to enjoy that success with your loved ones, why not do it?
Don't try to be everything. Your life and your loved ones are waiting for you, and so are we.

Reduction in Workforce
Use our expertise so you can focus on what you do best, running your business and taking care of your customer fasmilies.
As a company you invest in your associates' skills with training. You encourage them to improve their abilities through education, rewarding their creativity, judgement, and wisdom. As an employer you invest in improving the workplace culture. You do this because you know that it makes good business sense and the essence of Human Capital resides inside each person. No company chooses to find itself in this situation of needing to reduce their workforce, but changes in market conditions and the economy make the choice for you. The one thing you can choose though is a partner with experience, compassion, and the knowledge that with the right support no one's "last day" can't be the first day of better times ahead.
