Redundancies

We understand that managing a redundancy process is one of the most challenging responsibilities for any organisation. We provide expert guidance to ensure the process is legally compliant, transparent, and handled with sensitivity to protect both your business and your employees.

What is a Redundancy Process?

Redundancy occurs when a business needs to reduce its workforce due to changes such as restructuring, cost-cutting, or the closure of operations. In the UK, redundancy is governed by legal requirements that must be followed to ensure fairness and compliance.

Our redundancy support services help you navigate this complex process while minimising risks and maintaining employee trust.
