Overview

In our series of four guides on supporting employees following redundancy, we discuss providing assistance to employees who have been given notice of dismissal by reason of redundancy, including to whom assistance should be given, how it should be given and what kind of assistance is appropriate.

In this guide, we explore alternative sources of assistance where outplacement is not affordable as well as additional assistance that an employer may be able to offer exiting employees. This is the final guide in our series on supporting employees following redundancy:

• Supporting employees following redundancy: Why assist exiting employees?
