Working Title Podcast: conversations in good company – managing reductions in workforce sensitively
Employment and Industrial Relations Law Committee
For global organisations, employees represent far more than a numerical workforce. They are a core business asset and a key driver of long-term success. Yet organisations frequently face situations where economic pressures, evolving business strategies, technological disruption or organisational transformation necessitate difficult decisions about workforce size and structure. As a result, the challenge of managing reductions in workforce across multiple jurisdictions in a sensitive manner has become an increasingly significant issue for multinational employers. In this podcast, employment law experts share their insights and lived experiences in navigating the complex mix of legal requirements, employee relations considerations, cultural expectations and operational challenges, while ensuring that workforce changes are implemented in a coordinated, compliant and sensitive manner across jurisdictions.
