Frequently asked questions
When should we call on your services?
As early as possible – ideally before decisions have been communicated. Preparation, sequence and communication determine how a downsizing process unfolds and what remains of the corporate culture.
Do you also conduct the interviews yourself?
Yes. Our senior executives conduct the difficult discussions in person and on site, or prepare your senior managers specifically for them – depending on what is appropriate for the situation and the organisational culture.
How do you ensure legal certainty?
We structure processes, timelines, redundancy plans and communication in accordance with the applicable guidelines, working closely with your legal advisers and HR department.
Can you also provide support for this abroad?
Yes. We also support staff reduction programmes in foreign subsidiaries and branches, where local regulations, language and culture must be taken into account as well.
What happens to the remaining team?
It is the aspect that is most frequently underestimated. We stabilise the remaining organisation in a targeted manner, because that is where performance and trust for the future are determined.
