Structure & Strategy

Businesses will always need to review structure and strategy – and at no time more so than when a global pandemic has been thrown into the mix. As an employer, making redundancies can be one of the most difficult decisions you will ever have to make, and in recent months, this has been amplified as a result of the severe economic challenges faced due to Covid-19.

Outplacement services can be a lifeline for those impacted in these difficult situations; equally it’s crucial to ensure the correct advice, guidelines and assets are readily available to support business stakeholders, managers and employees to adapt and act effectively. The Smart HR team are on hand to provide their professional expertise to guide and support businesses of all sizes and at any level – pre, during and post restructure and redundancy.
