Redundancies occur not as a result of individual performance rather as a result of changes in process, technology, and/or business viability and as such the employer deems the role performed by the individual is no longer required…
Companies must carefully consider the process with which they must take when making employees redundant, and so implement an effective strategy. This strategy includes:-
- The impact redundancies will have on the business (i.e. productivity, morale, reputation);
- The legal obligations (i.e. the selection/consultation process, payment of entitlements);
- Investigating alternative solutions (i.e. extended leave, job sharing &/or part time work);
- Devising an effective Communications process (for all employees, including those remaining).
