It’s a conversation that no one wants to have. But if you find yourself facing redundancy, there are ways to secure a better deal that will buy you time and help in finding your next role.
The process involved and what an employee is entitled to upon redundancy vary depending on the contract type and country of employment. Julia Lemmer, leadership and career coach at Hanaco Consulting, recommends that anyone in this situation first look into whether the employer is complying with local laws.
“Do they respect all their legal requirements … and do they handle the process in a fair way which implies it is justified that you are the person that needs to go?” Lemmer said.
