Simplifying redundancy
Supporting the journey through redundancy and organisational change to simplify the process and deliver more compassionate, positive experiences for everyone involved.
Transforming redundancy processes for better people and business outcomes
Redundancy is a hugely disruptive and emotional time for everyone involved, from the employees directly impacted to those managing the process, and those remaining in the business. It’s also a process that may be new to those managing it and comes with the risk of legal ramifications, as well as the impact it inevitably has on employee wellbeing, mental health and productivity.
But taking a compassionate, people-centric approach to redundancy processes will deliver better outcomes for everyone. And the way in which redundancy processes are managed is what will be remembered by those most important in the process – your people – so it’s critical that these are effectively managed in a compassionate and compliant way.
The Empowering People Group brings together a suite of redundancy services from experts within our four group companies, Halborns, AdviserPlus, Working Transitions and Learning Nexus. We share a passion for delivering positive employee experiences at every stage of the employee lifecycle, and we collectively have a proven track record in reducing the pain, risk and complexity of redundancy to enable organisations to focus on delivering compassionate redundancy experiences.
Our mission is to transform the experience of everyone involved in a redundancy process to improve business and people outcomes.
