    Season 3 - Episode 8 From HR to Trade Union: Seeing Redundancy From Both Sides

    I’m joined by experienced HR professional and trade union founder Aime Ayrehart, who shares her perspective from her HR experience and as a trade union representative on what really happens in redundancy consultations beyond the process, scoring and scripts. We explore what tends to go wrong, how a focus on process can sometimes make things harder, and why honesty about the commercial reality matters more than trying to say the “right” thing. There’s also a practical look at what helps: giving people space to process, communicating in a way they can actually hear, and approaching conversations in a way that builds trust. If you’re leading or supporting redundancies, this episode offers a practical, real-world view of how to handle them in a way that works better for everyone involved.
