Employment Powerhour - Implementing redundancies fairly to save costs

Join us for the second in a series of webinars looking at workforce restructuring.

The tough economic climate means that many businesses are reviewing their operational costs; and difficult questions are being asked about where efficiencies can be made, and what resources can be cut.

In these situations, businesses and organisations will often first consider whether they can restructure staff with a view to making redundancies in order to save costs. Whilst redundancies may be the right option, it is important to consider the potential drawbacks and pitfalls of redundancies.

In the first part of our webinar series on cost savings for businesses and organisations we considered alternatives to redundancies to save costs and generate efficiencies.

However, we recognise that in some situations redundancies are unavoidable. If making redundancies becomes necessary,  this webinar will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to implement redundancies fairly and consider tricky issues such as selection criteria and scoring, bumping and suitable alternative employment.

Finally, in our third webinar our Corporate Restructuring & Tax teams will be looking at ways that you can look to save costs and be more efficient on a corporate level. For further details and to book a place on the third session, please click here.
