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

    APR 23

    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.

    Season 3 - Episode 7 The hidden grief behind redundancy

    Redundancy isn’t just a business process. It’s a loss. And with loss comes grief. In this episode I explore what’s really happening beneath the surface when someone is told their role is at risk and why understanding grief can completely change how you lead through redundancy. From shock and anger to silence and overwhelm, these are natural human responses, not reactions to be managed or rushed. I talk about practical strategies to help you support line managers and ensure the emphasis stays on the person at the heart of the process.

    Season 3 - Episode 6 How to support expectant and new mothers through workplace restructuring

    I’m joined by Laura Duggal, a parental return-to-work coach, to explore what organisational change feels like from the perspective of new mothers and why this moment is critical for talent retention. Because becoming a mother is already one of the biggest transitions in someone’s life. Then add a restructure into the mix everything can feel unsettling. We talk about the fear of being replaced, the anxiety of returning to something unfamiliar, and the overwhelm when work has moved on while you were away.
