About this event

Managing redeployment and redundancy during uncertain times

Periods of conflict or economic disruption can place significant pressure on organisations, sometimes requiring difficult workforce decisions. HR leaders play a critical role in ensuring that any restructuring, redeployment, or redundancy processes are handled with fairness, transparency, and respect for employees.

This session will explore how organisations can approach workforce transitions responsibly while maintaining employee trust and organisational reputation. Participants will learn how to prioritise redeployment opportunities, support affected employees, and ensure that workforce decisions align with legal requirements and organisational values.

The discussion will also highlight how HR can balance business sustainability with compassionate leadership during times of uncertainty.
