eBook - How to Manage Redundancy in a COVID-19 Environment

As a result of COVID-19 it may become necessary that your organisation will need to consider making redundancies as a result of a number of factors during these difficult times.

Whilst the normal rules around managing a redundancy process continue to apply, there are some additional considerations to be mindful of in relation to making redundancies as a result of the coronavirus.

We have produced this guide to help you identify where you are making redundancies; how you are making them; and also what process you should be following in order for any dismissal by way of redundancy to be made fairly.

Redundancy will be a crushing blow to many people, especially as they have already been through a very challenging time, so consider how you communicate and continue to support them, being mindful of their health and wellbeing.

In this guide we cover:

• Redundancies during COVID-19

• Flow chart

• Business Considerations

• Communication

• The Process

• Individual Consultation

• Voluntary redundancy

• Collective Redundancies

• Selection Process
