Restructuring comes hand in hand with change and in those unfortunate cases where the result is making redundancies, this is stressful for all involved. Not only is it important from a legal perspective to ensure that everything is done correctly, but from a moral perspective as well.

Real People’s Managing Redundancies and Restructuring workshop, is a practical one day programme, focusing on managing restructuring processes to be legally and ethically sound and to maintain as high employee engagement as possible.
