Bossnapping – the new redundancy negotiation tool?

Handling redundancies badly can lead to not only a great deal of stress for all those involved, but potentially costly legal proceedings when claims of unfair dismissal arise.  Ensuring that your management team and HR division are suitably prepared to deal with the process in a professional, considered and appropriate way can help to protect not only the individuals, but also the company as a whole.

After all, I am sure you don't want to be kidnapped by your employees!  Bossnapping is an industrial action tactic which consists of locking up management executives in their offices overnight and forcing them to return to the negotiating table in a more compliant mood. There have been at least six cases of bossnapping in France in the last fortnight, and the worrying thing is, it works.

Making redundancies in Recrion's experience starts out as a business decision; but managing redundancies requires a human touch and an understanding of the wider implications of the decision.

Recrion's team of HR professionals helps you to communicate openly and honestly with everyone affected by the changes and provides support so that you can make your business stronger, healthier, and create a reputation as a responsible and compassionate employer.
