Managing Redundancy Programmes
It is a difficult decision to make and even tougher conversation to have, especially when the employee(s) has been a valuable member of your workforce for some time and has done nothing but work hard.
However, redundancy is a business decision that, often, can’t be avoided and many people are understanding of this as long as it is proceeded with in the correct way.
If you find yourself in this situation, it’s important that you are aware of the appropriate procedures and the rights of the employee so that there are no repercussions further down the line.
