For many organisations it is sometimes necessary to
undertake restructuring and downsizing strategies which result in redeployment
or redundancy for employees - often on a fairly large scale.
When these circumstances occur, they obviously create problems for employees
facing redundancy, but they can also create a difficult time for the staff who
are required to administer the process. Whereas recruitment and corporate growth
strategies are planned in advance and constantly reviewed, it is often the case
that redundancies must necessarily remain confidential until a fairly late
stage.
Nearly 50% of companies
surveyed by the CIPD planned to make staff cuts during 2002
It is therefore essential that such projects are undertaken in a professional
and objective manner for the good of both the organisation and its employees.
In terms of administration a redundancy project requires at least as much, and
often more management and care than a similar-scale recruitment campaign, while
managers are generally trying to respond at much shorter notice.
In such situations it is crucial that the organisation has systems in place, or
can put them in place very quickly, to provide the essential management support
and process control that is needed.
Pear Computing Systems can provide the software, consultancy and support to
manage the redundancy and re-grading aspects of major corporate reorganisation.
Because of our experience in the areas of redundancy and assessment we can
provide the software and services which are required, and do this at short
notice if required.
Pear’s solutions will allow clients to set up details of their redundancy and
re-grading programmes, record all relevant employee details, automate the
assessment process, track and audit all the processes involved, and produce
reports and detailed analysis at all stages of the project.
Redundancy
Pear provides a variety of software solutions which
take into account schemes for
Voluntary Redundancy
Compulsory Redundancy
Mitigation
Early Retirement
Internal & External Transfers and Redeployment
Our software includes our Reploy solution for total
management of your Change Management process and Redundancy Pay Calculators - for
both Statutory compensation, and non-statutory calculations (including pension
costs) devised by the organisation itself.
Objective employee assessment is crucial to any re-grading or redundancy
programme, and Pear’s solutions also provide facilities for automatic
circulation of spreadsheet-based assessment forms for mailing or emailing to
assessors. These can be customised to include any appropriate score ranges and
weightings. Scores from emailed replies can be automatically updated into the
tracking database.
The system produces all the correspondence to be sent out to assessors and
employees at all stages of the process.
The reports produced include all the costings of the project, breakdown by
different schemes, and all the tracking information required to monitor the
redundancy and reorganisation programme.
Redeployment
For the management of internal re-grading exercises
Pear also provide specialised software for managing the processes of candidature
and assessment for internal redeployment. This software handles multi-stage
redeployment with employee reviews, allowing personnel to be considered for
multiple posts.
Again, the software provides full tracking of the processes and analysis of the
whole exercise.
