One of the major consequences of today's economic climate is a dramatic increase in redundancies.  If your company is having to consider making people redundant, the process can be much less fraught and less costly with good forward planning.  The cost of getting it wrong can be catastrophic, both in terms of cost and in shaping the company for the future.

As experts in the field of redundancy management, Alliance can help you every step of the way.

The Redundancy Process

From a legal perspective, there are a number of criteria that an employer must satisfy to prevent successful claims for unfair dismissal relating to redundancy.  This includes demonstrating that there is a genuine redundancy, that a fair selection process has taken place and that meaningful consultation has been carried out in line with current legislation.  An experienced consultant will help you through the process and can offer as much on-site assistance as you require. 

Redundancy Documentation

We can prepare correspondence on your behalf in line with current legislation. Accurate and detailed record keeping is an essential part of the process.  We will ensure your documentation reflects best practice and adheres to legal requirements.

Management Training

From experience, we understand that dealing with redundancies can be extremely difficult for managers, particularly when they have to lose valued members of staff.  We offer training or coaching on how best to carry out a redundancy exercise and can support your managers through the process.  We also recognise the difficulties faced by employees who survive the redundancy process and can offer practical advice to help motivate your remaining employees.
