We have hands on experience when it comes to restructuring and redundancy and workplace change.
We can advise you on everything from reducing staff numbers in order to cut costs, right through to complex and large scale business restructures and changes arising out of mergers and acquisitions.
Need to make an employee redundant?
Business needs change. You may need to make an employee redundant in order to cut costs or because you have decided to outsource things that were previously being done internally.
We have helped many employers work through situations like these.
Redundancies are easy to get wrong and can lead to unfair dismissal or discrimination claims if they aren’t handled properly.
We know that if you are considering making employees redundant, it may well be because you need to cut costs.
The last thing that you need in that situation is expensive legal advice which tells you about all the risks but doesn’t tell you what you actually need to do next.
We will cut to the chase and come up with the simplest and most cost effective way to make the changes that you need to make while ensuring that you do not breach any of the relevant employment laws.
Complex and large scale restructures
We have advised on a number of complex and large scale restructures, including:
- projects that involved the amalgamation of multiple Statutory Bodies operating under complex legislative obligations and with hundreds of employees;
- major downsizing made necessary by changed business circumstances; and
- entire organisation restructures due to changes in manufacturing and processing systems.
It’s all about ensuring the smoothest and simplest transition
Whatever kind of restructure you are considering, our focus is always on protecting your interests and ensuring the smoothest and simplest transition possible.
It can take a business years to recover from a poorly executed restructure where people issues weren’t dealt with properly.
In some cases the benefits of the restructure can be overshadowed by employee negativity and disengagement.
We won’t just tell you what the laws say. We will work with you to plan what you are going to tell employees, prepare formal notifications and important documents such as updated employment agreements, map out transition arrangements and make sure that your interests are protected throughout the process.
We are here to take away the worry and to ensure that our clients know that we have their backs. Contact us to find out how we can assist.
We help employers solve and prevent people issues. We are problem solvers.
