Redundancy support
What we offer
Are you thinking about making redundancies? Or undertaking a restructure?
Would you like to help your staff to have the best possible opportunity to secure a new job?
Are you interested in accessing free training and support for your staff?
We offer a fully-funded Redundancy2Employment service at the Council to reduce the risk of individuals becoming unemployed. As a city council we are keen to work with business to ensure individuals at risk of redundancy can easily transition into alternative work, making the most of our skilled labour and reducing anxiety for the individual.
Redundancies are challenging, both for the business and for the individual. Our offer of support is here to help you both.
Our offer compromises of:
- a one-to-one consultation to understand the changes you are making to your business, understand your corporate values and understand how you wish to support your staff who are at risk of redundancy
- collaboration with a trade union as required
- development of a bespoke support and training offer, utilising our partner network.
Our bespoke package is tailored to meet the need of your business and employees. We coordinate and build your package of support, so you don’t have to. We utilise our existing partner network and bring in support as required.
Following our support provided to Incora, they said:
The support that Employment and Skills team arranged for our colleagues who were at risk was amazing. I didn’t realise there was so much help available. We provided a wish list based on the skills that our colleagues told us they would find most helpful and we were offered everything we requested. The feedback from the attendees was brilliant. They really valued the help provided and many said how much it increased their confidence to take the next steps in their careers.
