Navigating redundancy and restructuring programmes – a practical guide for employers

In this webinar, we explain how to manage a redundancy programme and guide you through the process, offering practical examples throughout.

With a variety of economic pressures to manage, businesses are having to make difficult operational decisions. For some this may result in a need to restructure which will often include a redundancy programme. Whether redundancies are large-scale or few in number, employers, keen to do the right thing, will want to understand the legal framework which applies.

In this webinar our speakers give an overview of the redundancy process. We also take a brief look at some of the alternatives to redundancy which you may find helpful to consider. We then talk you through a restructuring case study, before looking at some of the knottier scenarios that commonly arise.
