Redundancy – what does it mean for me?

Being made redundant can be one of the most stressful events in your life. However, unplanned change can create opportunities to enrich your life and take career paths you would not otherwise have considered.

In some cases, you may have little warning that your job is about to end, in others you may have weeks or months of rumours, and negotiations with your employer, before any announcement is made.

Either way, being made redundant is a difficult and emotional process, but there are things you can do to make the situation easier on yourself. Remember, redundancy need not be a negative experience. It may even be the gateway to something better.
