RETHINKING HOW WE WORK

The Phoenix Program

THE CURRENT OPPORTUNITY

Lean into career transformation.

We live in a fast-changing world. Since COVID-19, individuals are re-evaluating their lives and careers with new urgency, while organisations rethink the capability they need to thrive.

Playmakers’ Phoenix Program is a dynamic career transition ecosystem designed to meet this moment head-on. More than just a response to change, it’s a launchpad for personal reinvention – supporting individuals to retain critical skills, build new ones, and step confidently into this ever-evolving future of work. Whether by choice or circumstance, career transitions can unlock new purpose, direction and growth. Amidst increasing uncertainty, The Phoenix Program helps people realise the opportunity.
