You’ve identified roles you believe need to go — but before you act, ask yourself one critical question:

“Are we actually following a legally compliant redundancy process — or just assuming we are?”

Many well-intentioned employers find themselves blindsided by unfair dismissal claims, not because the decision to restructure was wrong — but because the process wasn’t handled properly.

Redundancy is more than a financial or operational decision — it’s a legal process governed by strict rules. And failing to meet these standards can result in reputational harm, financial penalties, and stress for everyone involved.
