Reading up on how to ‘do’ redundancies can often fall exceedingly short when it comes to putting the theory into practice. This course is led by our HR tutors who examine through real-life experiences the process, legalities – and perhaps more importantly – the intangible issues relating to such a difficult time for your organisation.

Not only do we provide you with the tools and techniques to carry out a redundancy professionally, complying with the law and with sensitivity, but on this intensive day we also cover how to restructure your company after the loss of key personnel.

What you will achieve

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Follow a 12-point plan when handling redundancy situations
• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of employer obligations
• Implement a fair consultation and selection process
• Manage the aftermath of restructuring.
