Case study

The Problem

Our client, a dual-purpose transportation organisation, recognised the need for streamlining both businesses under a single umbrella to reduce costs. They knew they needed to decrease management and administrative positions, but didn’t know the legal requirements involved with redundancies.

Our Solution

After clarifying the client’s business needs and exploring alternatives, we devised a clear plan of action. We navigated the consultation process with employees and the client, addressing affected individuals, mitigation strategies, and internal role options. Our expert team facilitated redundancy consultations, providing comprehensive guidance notes, letters, and documentation. Post-restructuring, we engaged in formal consultations to reallocate roles efficiently.

We diligently ensured our client’s compliance with legal obligations, covering consultation, notifications, and redundancy payments. Our role mitigated legal risks while upholding a culture of respect and sensitivity towards employees throughout the process.

“The knowledge and delivery of information

was of huge significance”

I would like to acknowledge and thank the team at EWS for the prompt and professional service provided to our workplace over recent months. The knowledge and delivery of information was of huge significance and assistance in navigating the services and support we required to update and align our employee documentation with current workplace legislation.
