Redundancy programmes fail to deliver their goals.

​

Research confirms that the majority of organisations report negative outcomes from redundancy programmes, driven by drops in productivity, morale and commitment among survivors

Fear of redundancy directly causes burnout.

Nearly four in five employees say fear of redundancy contributes to their burnout, affecting both those leaving and those who stay​

Spill workplace burnout research

Redundancy is one of the hardest things a business goes through. The people process is where it goes wrong

​

The legal process gets attention. The human process often doesn't. And that gap, between what the paperwork requires and what people actually need is where damage is done

​

Managers freeze in the room. A conversation handled badly, however well-intentioned, creates grievances, tribunal risk and lasting damage to trust among those who stay

​

HR professionals burn out holding everyone else together, with no one holding them. The numbers show this is a systemic problem, not a personal failing

​

Employees leave shaken. Even when redundancy isn't personal, it feels personal. Without proper support, confidence takes months to rebuild, and the way they talk about the organisation reflects that

​

Our Redundancy Support programme addresses all three, so that everyone involved is properly supported, and the process reflects the kind of organisation you want to be known as

You need someone who has actually been there

​Dee our Redundancy Coach knows what redundancy feels like from every angle.

 

Made redundant six times herself, she has sat in that room and felt the shock, the uncertainty and the blow to confidence that follows.

​

She has also been the person delivering that news, both as a Line Manager and as an HR Manager, carrying the weight of a decision that will affect people's lives, and supporting the people in front of her, whilst protecting the business.

​

That lived experience, alongside her professional qualifications, means Dee doesn't just understand the process intellectually, she understands it humanly. And that makes all the difference.

​

"Between 1993 and 2018 I was made redundant 6 times. The businesses I worked for relocated, downsized and closed down.  At times it felt devastating, at other times exhilarating to have a fresh start.  The situation didn't change, but my attitude towards it did!

​

​It is for this reason, that when I passed my coaching qualification, I knew that this would be an area that I wanted to focus on - to help anyone affected by redundancy to work through the process prepared and with confidence, supported and to come out of the other side healthy, happy, safe and motivated"

​ 

Dee

"1:1 coaching with Dee feels calm, supportive, and perfectly paced. Her caring and grounded demeanour creates a safe space where it feels comfortable to explore the deeper issues we often keep hidden. She has a real skill for asking the right questions at the right time — gently challenging in a way that encourages reflection without ever feeling overwhelming. Rather than giving answers, Dee guides you to find your own, walking alongside you at your pace as you work out your next steps"
