]]> Managing change and restructures is often seen as the chief domain of HR, but Katherine Wiid, Director of People Management Consultancy Recrion, argues that L & D and Training professionals within an organisation have a significant part to play.

Handling redundancies badly can lead to not only a great deal of stress for all those involved, but to potentially costly legal proceedings when claims of unfair dismissal arise.  Ensuring that your management team and HR division are suitably trained and 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.

Providing those at risk, and those who stay behind, with the right level of support and training can make the difference between maintaining the company’s position as an employer of choice, and irreversibly damaging its reputation.  And so it’s at a time like this when the value of the L&D division can really be highlighted and make a significant contribution to the successful future of the business.

For more information on how best to prepare your management team to tackle the difficult issue of redundancies, read Katherine's article in The Training Journal, June 2009.
