How Think People Can Help…

Redundancy Advice for Employers

Every organisation, every role and especially every individual is different, so most redundancy processes see a number of unique issues arise. Your dedicated redundancy consultant will be on hand to provide advice to help you resolve issues quickly and in a legally compliant manner.

Our consultants regularly support organisations of a range of sizes and sectors implement procedures for redundancy, so we are prepared for and experienced in handling anything that comes our way.

Redundancy Outplacement Services & Employee Engagement

Redundancy Outplacement helps maintain your reputation as an employer of choice and maintain morale in remaining employees.

Our redundancy outplacement services help you to support those whose roles have been affected by redundancy by offering advice on their next career move. This can include interview skills, CV advice and career coaching.

Avoid “survivor guilt” crashing morale within your organisation, and boost your restructured teams with Team Development and Employee Engagement strategies.

TUPE Legal Advice for Mergers & Acquisitions

TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006) exists to protect employees’ rights when an organisation or service they work for transfers to a new employer.

We will advise where TUPE applies, help you plan a legally compliant process, and if you are the incoming employer we can help you complete HR due diligence to ensure you understand the roles and employees who are likely to transfer and the associated costs and liabilities.

Our change management consultants will help you plan employee communications to help alleviate concerns, avoid employee relations issues arising, and maintain morale and engagement with remaining staff. Employees will look to their managers for answers, so we will support them to communicate consistently and with empathy to ensure a smooth transition and a more positive attitude from staff toward the change.
