Redundancy
back to course list
This programme explores the commercial and practical implications of implementing a redundancy programme and highlights the key steps to avoid legal complications. Any-one contemplating redundancies should be aware of these issues before planning their changes. Newly updated to take account of case law on collective consultation, disclosure of criteria, this course is a must for any organisation planning to save money rather than spend even more.
If you are considering restructuring, but it is too late for training, we can still help. Click here for details.
