The critical time between jobs involves many important decisions. That's why the SDI® is used so frequently in work transition applications such as layoffs, restructurings, new-hire orientations etc. The SDI and the SDI Expectations Edition® provide a framework to understand the dynamics of a new situation and make more informed decisions - ideally resulting in a new work environment that is more rewarding personally and more productive too. Job seekers may complete the SDI Expectations Edition based on information they have about a prospective job - or an ideal job. People involved in a new or revised role at their current employer may complete the SDI Expectations Edition about their new role - and even ask for input from others who will be affected by decisions made from within that role.
