The threat of redundancies can cause serious disruption to a company. It has the potential to damage morale and productivity and put a strain on working relations. At the very worst, it can result in tribunal claims for unfair dismissal.
Communication: Good communication between management and staff is essential, it will ease the pain and minimise operational disruption.
Consultation and planning: This can help keep staff engaged and prepare the way forward for recovery.
Comply with the law: When managing redundancies, it's essential for employers to ensure that they comply with the law to avoid tribunal claims later for unfair dismissal.
