Redundancy and Restructuring HR Support for SMEs
Redundancy and restructuring are among the most challenging employment issues a business can face. Whether you're reducing costs, reorganising your workforce, or adapting to changing business needs, it's essential to follow a fair and legally compliant process.
Getting redundancy or restructuring wrong can lead to costly employment tribunal claims, reduced employee morale, and damage to your business reputation.

Frequently asked questions
When is redundancy the right option?
Redundancy may be appropriate when a role is no longer required because of reduced workload, workplace closure, business closure or organisational change. We'll help you determine whether redundancy is the most appropriate and legally compliant option.
Can you help with restructuring without making redundancies?
Yes. Not every restructure results in redundancies. We can advise on organisational changes, role redesign, contract variations and alternative approaches that achieve your business objectives while remaining legally compliant.
Do employers have to consult employees before making redundancies?
Yes, employers must carry out a meaningful consultation before making redundancy decisions. We can guide you through the consultation process and ensure you follow the correct procedures.
Can you support managers during redundancy meetings?
Absolutely. We can prepare documentation, attend consultation meetings, provide advice throughout the process and help managers communicate confidently with employees.
