Introduction

The UK, like many countries, is facing a cost-of-living crisis. Rising energy prices, in particular, are going to see many businesses struggling. Unfortunately, an inevitable consequence of this could be redundancies. A redundancy is never easy to manage, due to the emotions involved, but working logically through the process can mean that it is managed in a supportive way.

During this virtual classroom seminar, we will work through the steps that need to be followed to ensure a compliant redundancy programme.
