Redundancy Response
There are a number of programs designed to help provide support, guidance and practical assistance to companies who are undergoing restructuring and redundancies. Redundancy support can be provided by a number of agencies including: - West Lothian Council;
- JobcentrePlus;
- HM Revenues & Customs;
- Scottish Enterprise;
- Careers Scotland;
- Business Gateway;
- Other partners include Citizen Advice Bureau and LearnDirect Scotland.
The idea of all support schemes is to assist employees facing the challenge of redundancy. Any employee facing such a challenge needs a ready understanding of career planning and must quickly develop skills such as: - completing application forms;
- creating a winning CV;
- effective jobsearch strategies;
- successful interview techniques;
- investigating learning and retraining opportunities;
Our redundancy services have a wealth of experience working in partnership with employers in delivering a free, top quality service to employees to help them develop these career planning skills. Services are delivered on the client?s premises and can be on a one-to-one basis, in groupwork sessions, or as a mixture of both. It is free, confidential and impartial. Services include benefits advice, careers guidance, education and training opportunities, local job vacancies, employability and business start-up advice.
