If you or a family member thinks they might be about to be made redundant, or have already been made redundant, we have created a whole section of information and guidance dedicated to you.
Preparing For Redundancy (and What to Do After it Occurs)
Being made redundant can seem like rock bottom for some experienced professionals. However, in our experience it is often the beginning of a far more fulfilling career, given the right direction.
The UK market is changing faster than ever, such that once thriving industries are now making huge cuts to their workforce. However, this doesn’t mean that there are less jobs; there is a labour shortage in the UK, especially for skilled and experienced workers.
As such, with a slight shift in mindset you could be set on a brand-new path with a whole world of opportunities you never thought possible.
Redundancies are a part of the modern economy and people retraining and switching careers is the emerging trend for the vast majority of the workforce. As such, you shouldn’t take redundancy personally and instead should grasp this opportunity to take a step in a fresh direction.
We have developed specific pages for each problem or situation you might need guidance in, which you can redirect to through the list below:
