Redundancy is rarely just a business process. For the individuals affected, it can bring uncertainty, anxiety and significant change. For managers, it can be one of the most challenging conversations they will ever have.
That’s why the latest guide in our Practical Guide for Managers series focuses on Managing Redundancy. The guide is designed to help managers handle the process fairly, communicate openly, engage in meaningful consultation and support employees with dignity and respect every step of the way.
We may not be able to remove the difficulty of these situations, but we can ensure people are treated well throughout them. After all, employees may not remember every detail of the process, but they will remember how they were treated.
I hope you find it helpful.
