Redundancy support

[Horowitz89]

I am at risk of redundancy- in a largeish company there are around 100 of us at risk due to bit changes and terrible finances. There's a chance I could stay in a different role but that's a debate for another day!

I am one of the employee reps in the consultation process. It's been fairly soul destroying but if we can achieve one thing it would be to get decent outplacement support for all leavers . I've heard good tales from people in a similar position about the training etc they received. I'm worried the company will take a cheap approach and run some shit Teams chats. The jobs market has changed lots since I last looked for jobs and for lots of us I think our confidence is really very low so some support would help.

Has anyone any advice or tips about what we should ask for?

Unsure of your employer, but mine has been known to do similar cut back processes and rehire the same people in similar roles months later. In my experience, it gets rid of dead wood staff. Folk have had redundancy packages then been hired again months later. I work for a big company with thousands of employees so could be totally different, but I'd be asking higher management bigger questions about how the company plans to resource the job in the future. Hope it goes well for you

Ask for individual outplacement for everyone via a company such as Renovo. It costs about £800 per person minimum so your fallback position could be group sessions. Definitely worth asking for it as it has a good success rate and job hunting has changed a lot.
