Small businesses everywhere are feeling the squeeze right now – reduced government spending, an economic recession, and record levels of emigration are putting the pressure on owners and managers to do more with less.

Despite your best efforts, this may require making changes to your staffing – shuffling tasks around, reducing people’s hours, changing people’s start and finish times, and potentially making one (or more) people redundant.

If you’re considering restructuring or rightsizing your business, join MyHR for an engaging and practical breakfast session, led by HR expert Sylvie Thrush Marsh, where we’ll go over the practical steps required to make changes to your team’s employment, including potential redundancies.

What you’ll learn

  • How to prepare a watertight commercial case for your proposed changes

  • The correct legal process to follow when proposing a restructure

  • How to communicate clearly and consistently with those affected

  • ‘Survivor management’ - if your business goes down the route of redundancies

  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

Date, time and location:

📅 Wednesday, 26 November | 7:15-8:45am

📍Kent Room, Urban Hub, 2/318 Lambton Quay, Wellington Central, Wellington
