You have to make staff redundant. A new strategy, a merger or maybe changed market conditions means that you have to let some of your staff go. Despite the difficult decision you want to do this in the most humane and effective way as possible. You want the best possible support to help your effected employees, not only through this difficult time, but with their future career as well. You also need to support your managers through this stressful period.
