Redundancy
The challenge for employers
"Downsizing, rightsizing, restructuring - name any euphemism but the difficulties for employers when undertaking a redundancy exercise have never been greater.
The challenge is significant:
-
Process is often key in HR, no more so than in keeping your staff reduction lawful.
-
Consultation is critical, collective or individual, often both. But how do you balance the strict consultation requirements with the business necessity to effect change swiftly?
-
Think long term - your approach will be seen by the 'survivors', so your strategy needs to embrace those staff.
-
In an international context, different rules can demand a flexible strategy."
