The impact of Redundancies on business

Deciding to explore making job losses as an opinion has a significant impact on business owners, employees and managers. But the biggest impact is on the employees themselves. Knowing how to sensitively and professionally handle difficult conversations around job losses can make a huge difference to anyone impacted by this change and also for the colleagues that they leave behind. It is also essential to remain on the right side of employment law.

Many factors must be considered when deciding who should be offered voluntary or compulsory redundancy. Length of service will affect not only severance payments, but you must also be mindful of discriminatory laws.

Here at MAD-HR, we are here to help you navigate through notice periods, severance packages, and even alternatives to making job losses. Contact us today to find out how we can help.
