Making Staff Redundant

Making staff redundant is one of the hardest things any manager has to do.  We know because we’ve had to do it ourselves. How you support your staff at this difficult time is crucial in how quickly your business recovers.

Providing support for both the managers involved in the redundancy process, and the people leaving is vital. It is not uncommon for those staying to suffer “survivor syndrome” This can mean that productivity can suffer.

We can help by providing a tailored programme of assessments and support which:

1. Enables the proposed redundant employee to assess their strengths and weaknesses
2. Enables the proposed redundant employee to assess their general financial position
3. Provides a skills analysis providing a suitable job and educational tool box allowing those in the redundancy process to move forward
4. Provides skills development for redundant employees on CV preparation and interview techniques.
5. Provide assistance in developing a communication programme that is informative and accurate and reaches all levels of the organisation and outside stakeholders. Experience shows the “grapevine” tends to exaggerate and distort actual events often to the detriment of a company’s reputation.
6. Provide support for managers to manage the transition of their staff who are involved in the redundancy process.
