Have you ever faced the daunting task of navigating a business's restructuring or pondered the right way to handle potential redundancies?
In this episode, we dig into the complexities of reshaping a company. We're not just talking about the why, but the how—offering strategic insights on realigning roles and departments. From retraining to transferring staff, we dissect the sensitive process of restructuring with a focus on maintaining operations.
We then unpack the crucial notion that it's the role that becomes redundant, not the person, and the importance of a transparent consultation process. We shed light on the legalities involved, particularly when it comes to constructive dismissal and large-scale redundancy procedures. As you listen, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how to stay fair and compliant during these challenging transitions, ensuring your company not only survives but thrives through change.
