Business Restructures & Redundancies.
Restructures and redundancies are never easy – but they can be managed with clarity, care and professionalism. We support businesses through every stage of the process, helping you navigate risk, protect your people and move forward with confidence.
Managing Change with Confidence and Compassion.
Even the most successful businesses face difficult decisions – and sometimes, change is unavoidable. Whether prompted by market shifts, financial pressure, or a need to realign your structure, restructuring and redundancy processes require expert guidance and a steady hand.
At Clear Direction, we help organisations plan, manage and communicate change effectively. We ensure every stage is legally sound, commercially sensible, and delivered in a way that respects the people affected. Our approach balances risk management with empathy – supporting both leadership and employees through periods of uncertainty.
Why Restructures and Redundancies Matter
Handled poorly, a restructure or redundancy can cause lasting damage – from legal claims and reputational risk to a breakdown in trust across your wider workforce. But when managed well, it can become a turning point that protects the future of the business while maintaining integrity and compassion.
A clear, well-executed plan helps minimise disruption, ensure compliance with employment law, and demonstrate that people are treated fairly. It also gives leaders the space to focus on making the right decisions, rather than getting lost in complexity or procedural risk.
Our Approach: Structured, Compliant, Human
We begin by understanding your reasons for change, your business structure and your legal obligations. From there, we build a bespoke plan that sets out the right steps, timeframes and communications. We guide you through each stage – from early planning and consultation to final outcomes and aftercare.
Depending on your needs, we can:
-
Design your restructure or redundancy plan and timeline
-
Advise on risk areas and legal compliance
-
Lead or support employee consultation meetings
-
Draft and coordinate settlement agreements, including solicitor negotiation
-
Provide outplacement support for affected employees to ease the transition
We work alongside you to make sure the process is fair, transparent, and well managed – for everyone involved.
