Season 4: Episode 4 The real cost of redundancy: What HR teams need to know
Making redundancies costs money before it saves any. So how do you know whether the numbers stack up, and what might be missing from the budget?
In this episode I talk to commercial coach Jo Bailey to unpack the financial side of managing redundancies, from overlooked costs and cash flow to how long it takes for savings to cover the initial expense.
We explore management time, dips in productivity and costs that continue after employees leave, alongside why HR and finance need to plan together.
It's a practical conversation for HR professionals managing redundancies who want to understand the numbers, ask better questions and contribute to redundancy and restructuring decisions.

Season 4: Episode 3 What mediation can teach us about redundancy conversations
I'm joined by workplace mediator Lizanne Keenan to explore how mediation skills can help HR professionals and line managers approach difficult redundancy conversations.
We talk about active listening, making space for emotion, knowing when to pause and choosing a meeting room that gives people privacy. We also explore how avoiding conversations after redundancy can leave assumptions and resentment to grow into workplace conflict.
This is a practical conversation for anyone managing redundancies who wants to help people feel heard, support the remaining team and protect working relationships.

Season 4: Episode 2 Managing Redundancy: Four ways to put people at the centre
Managing redundancy brings plenty for HR teams to think about. Alongside a fair and legally compliant process, there are opportunities to make a real difference to how people experience it.
In this episode I share four ways to build a more person-centred redundancy process:
• Preparing line managers to listen, respond to emotions and handle difficult questions.
• Planning employee support and communication outside formal consultation meetings.
• Giving people choice and recognising individual needs.
• Thinking beyond the leaving date, from thoughtful goodbyes to ongoing outplacement support.
If you’re an HR professional or leader planning redundancies, you’ll find practical ideas to help people feel informed, supported and valued. Many cost nothing, but they do need a place in your planning.
