Our HR Consultant, Cathryn, was recently featured in Management Today in an article that looks at how to make redundancies sensitively - without crushing employee morale.
REASSURE THOSE WHO ARE STAYING – BUT DON’T RUB LEAVERS’ NOSES IN IT Clearly those who are being made redundant need support, but those who aren’t also need to feel like their own jobs are safe and that the company isn’t heading south. You need to show that you have a positive plan for the future and explain how they will have a part in delivering it. It might be worth holding off on the positives for a day or two though - ‘While business has to continue, don't highlight awards, successes, promotions, good news etc at the same time as delivering redundancy messages to others – it’s rubbing in what they may be losing,’ says Cathryn Foreman, HR consultant at Capital Law.
