Have you been made redundant?

Being made redundant is a highly stressful situation so we have put together some useful pointers on what you should bear in mind if you are faced with it...

- Redundancy is difficult not only for you but for the employer who has to make that decision to go through the process and actually do it. 

- Other people in the company will also be feeling it whether they are also being made redundant or not .

- It is difficult for everyone. 

- It should not be taken personally. 

- Ask questions so you understand what is going on and you know where you stand. 

- Speak to professionals so you feel comfortable with the process and know what to expect.

- Think ahead and start searching for a new job straight away. You can start going for interviews whilst you are working your notice period. 

- You are not alone. Redundancies happen all of the time. It is stressful and traumatic but there are many resources to help you get back on track. 

- Try to think positively and that you will find a new job. There will be something else out there for you and it may in fact be a blessing in disguise.

Redundancy can happen for a number of reasons, such as, when a merger occurs, companies suffer big losses or reduced profits, there is competition or maybe there is a requirement for different skills within a company. Whatever it is, it will not be down to your skills and abilities and redundancy should not effect your confidence to do your job properly.

If you have suffered, you can seek professional advice to help you get through it but normally your company will assist you in finding a new opportunity.
