The successful management of change especially where redundancy is an issue is a challenge for all organisations but the result is an opportunity that employees need to embrace, for it can mean the beginning of an exciting journey that is necessary to lead to sustained success for the organisation and its employees.
Delivering bad news well is a science - it just doesn't happen! It has to be planned and managed effectively. As with all difficult situations - there is a right and a wrong way of managing them. Terminating someone's employment is never easy. It is probably one of the most difficult tasks that a CEO or Senior Manager will ever have to do.
Making an employee redundant - taking another person's job away from them and leaving them with no income to pay their mortgage and not knowing how they are going to live is traumatic for all those involved. However, there is much you can do to lessen the discomfort of the person facing redundancy. This starts with having good policies in place and clearly communicating your expectations and the business realities to your team.
Follow CSG's simple guidelines and train key personnel to deliver the bad news effectively. By delivering bad news well you can certainly avoid angry scenes and lessen your exposure to a lawsuit.
Redundancy forces change on an organisation and the people within it, both those staying and those leaving. The reaction of both these groups can be influenced by the organisation and a positive outcome will result in beneficial consequences for the individual as well as the organisation.
