Supporting employees through redundancies and business closures
summary
Describes firsthand outcomes: survives a company insolvency, builds a team to 40-plus people then reorganizes with careful reassignments, achieves zero attrition six months later, and finds new roles by cold‑calling and leveraging internal networks. Recommends communications plan as a concrete tool (who does what, message, channel) plus smart transparency, prioritizing sole providers or visa cases, focusing on transition logistics over blame, and tracking promises so transitions actually happen.
