Webinar: Navigating Redundancy Processes

Re-watch our practical, scenario-based discussion on redundancy, covering current trends, key considerations and steps to take when planning workforce changes. Plus, find out how HR and employment law experts at Loch can offer pragmatic advice that considers your specific situation.

Rising UK Redundancies and Employment Tribunal Claims

Redundancies are rising across the UK workforce. According to the ONS, redundancy rates climbed from 3.5 per 1,000 employees between May and July 2025 to 3.8 per 1,000 between June and August 2025, representing a 9% increase. But, there’s another trend employers can’t afford to ignore: According to the Government’s Tribunal Statistics Quarterly, claims relating to redundancy pay and failure to inform and consult skyrocketed by 1,400% between 2023/24 and 2024/25, suggesting that many organisations are getting the process wrong.

Behind these numbers are real businesses hit with unexpected legal claims, reputational damage and operational disruption, simply because they weren’t following the correct processes.

What you’ll gain from watching this session:

• A clear picture of current redundancy trends in the UK: where and why changes are happening.
• How to decide if redundancy is the right step, or whether alternatives such as restructuring or cost-saving measures should be considered.
• Practical, scenario-based guidance on people planning, legal compliance, minimising risks and supporting those who remain.
