Managing Redundancy
Managing redundancy is always challenging. It could be that your business has hit financial difficulties and needs to take action to reduce 
costs. It could also be that your business is changing direction and different skills will be needed as you move forward. In either situation, the outcome is the same – you need to let some of your existing staff go.
We at VVC HR can support you through the entire redundancy process. The aim of the service is to ensure that your redundancies are conducted in a legally compliant way. We either guide you through the redundancy process or you can hand the entire redundancy process over to us and we will manage it on your behalf.
At a fundamental level, we can provide you with a full written process, scripts, documentation and be at the end of the phone to answer your questions. If you’d like more support then we can be onsite with you whilst meetings are conducted, support you through the definition and application of selection criteria and produce all of the letters and supporting documentation for you.
At the highest level, you can outsource the entire process to us. Clearly you will still be responsible for making the decision as to which staff are made redundant but we will conduct all of the meetings for you, work with you on defining the selection criteria, create all of the documentation and letters and help you look to the future and manage the remaining staff so as to avoid “survivor syndrome”.
This option works particularly well for businesses where the reason for redundancy is a business change. By handing the redundancy process over to us, your management team can focus on looking to the future.
