When handling redundancies and restructures, following a fair and legal process is essential. In addition to minimising the risk of Employment Tribunals, it will help keep people productive throughout the process and preserve morale and motivation amongst remaining staff.

  • Your options – is redundancy/restructuring the right route to take?
