Redundancy, restructuring, downsizing. There are few, if any, other management books on this important topic, and yet the pace of redundancies has only accelerated in recent years. Coupled with this, many companies that implement redundancies as a cost-cutting exercise often fail to achieve their goal.

Whilst viewed as an uncomfortable topic by many, guidance on how to implement a redundancy programme that is fair, proportionate and ultimately leads to improved organisational performance, has never been more needed. This book fills this important gap. It takes the reader through a redundancy implementation strategy - Re-Focus, Re-Organise and Re-Build - that incorporates the key aspects of planning and analysis, fairness and justice, and prepares management for redundancy implementation through training. What will your communications include? What will be your strategy for implementation? What training does your management need? Various helpful template examples are included for employee consultation, communication and training.

The book will be invaluable for business managers, HR professionals, employee representatives and HR students.

"Restructures and redundancies are often an unavoidable part of an HR professional's working life, but knowing how to carry them out with compassion is vital. Madeleine is an expert on limiting the negative effects of such programmes and brings a fresh perspective on the impact on all individuals involved in the process. This book is sure to be a must read for HR professionals." - Katie Jacobs, Senior Stakeholder Lead - CIPD and business, journalist

"Dr. Madeleine Stevens' book offers a fresh and much needed rethink on the issues around how companies' approach and implement redundancies. It explores positive alternatives to redundancies that limit the emotional impact on employees and the detrimental effect redundancies can have on businesses." - Colin Gosling, Senior Unite Rep and European Siemens representative, Siemens ITS Poole

"At last a book about this difficult topic that is both practical about the process but also deals with the emotional rollercoaster for all participants. Maddy Stevens' compassionate approach is no soft touch, and has the authenticity of hard won experience." - Toby Peyton-Jones, OBE, Former HR Director Siemens UK and Northwest Europe
