Redundancy and Restructuring

Handling and dealing with redundancies can be difficult and stressful for all concerned, especially breaking the news to the staff of the possible redundancy. This will need firmness, empathy and compassion because those at risk can react in a whole raft of different ways and you must prepare for as many eventualities as possible

The course looks at the law and some of the changes including: the reduced collective consultation process, fixed term contracts, individual consultation and the employee representation.

This course also looks at the options available to any business facing a downturn in activity and these options are not just limited to redundancy, and the emphasis here is on early consultation with your employees so that you can find the best way forward for both them and you.
