Redundancy Management Consultants

Executing redundancies requires careful planning and strict compliance. Our redundancy management consultants provide employers with expert guidance through the entire process, ensuring workforce changes are handled commercially, legally, and sensitively.

Reorganisation and restructuring

To meet new challenges, it is sometimes necessary to reorganise the structure of your business. Whether you are thinking about re-designating job roles, relocating the company, downsizing, or closing a department, Loch can help.

With close integration between our expert HR and legal support teams you’ll be well supported during a restructuring, protecting your business from the legal risks inherent in reassigning and dismissing staff.

With us on your side, you’ll be clear on

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, and supporting those who remain.
Strategies to safeguard your own wellbeing and reduce organisational risk during the process.

We can also provide guidance and solutions to any issues arising from your new business structure and provide advice on the employment law aspects involved.

How Loch can help

Loch can assist with the following services:

Identifying areas in need of reorganisation
Designing the new structure of your business
Identifying critical posts and writing new job descriptions
Communication planning and supporting documentation for staff
Handling consultations and meetings
Legal advice on the risks of implementing a new structure and if a claim should be brought against the organisation
Mock interviews or coaching for those who have been made redundant, helping to ensure a smooth transition

Dismissal and redundancy

If employees are unfortunately dismissed, remaining workers may feel unhappy about the loss of their colleagues, or otherwise feel insecure about their own jobs. Loch can work with you to ensure clear and effective communication during a potentially stressful time, helping you to answer questions from your staff, to handle difficult conversations with sensitivity and retain your valued staff.

We can also offer outplacement services for those facing redundancy, working with them to help secure new employment. By allowing Loch to focus on those leaving the business, remaining employees can also benefit from the availability and support of management, critical to preserving employee confidence and their commitment to your organisation.

The seamless service between the HR and legal teams at Loch has proved invaluable to us when we needed support with urgent, sensitive matters. The response was appropriate, professional and timely – we could not have asked for more. As a result of this excellent start, we have engaged Loch to provide us with ongoing support on employee matters safe in the knowledge that they will engage with their legal and advisory colleagues when those services are needed.

We recently implemented a new HR software solution with Loch, and have to say the level of service and training was excellent. The software itself has made many of the HR related challenges much easier to manage, and the assistance with the set-up, implementation and training has been first class. If you’re looking for an affordable HR software solution, I would certainly recommend Loch very highly indeed.
