For many Financial Services organisations, change programmes are accelerating. How might you do this well now and prepare for the employment law changes in January 2027, mitigating organisational risk?
Whether you are leading organisational redesign, workforce transformation, cost optimisation or restructuring activity, it is essential that your approach remains commercially effective, legally defensible and fair. For this purpose, City HR has joined forces with leading employment law specialists Marian Bloodworth, David Williams, Justin Terry, and Connie Shaw from Fox Williams for a practical half-day masterclass: Redundancy in a Changing World
Managing Change, Transformation and Workforce Restructuring with Confidence
This interactive session will explore:
- The changing legal landscape and the implications of forthcoming employment law reforms.
- How to build a robust business case for change and restructuring.
- Scoping the scale of programme and collective consultation considerations.
- Governance, documentation and audit trails that stand up to scrutiny.
- Common pitfalls that create unnecessary legal and employee relations risk.
- Alternatives to redundancy and approaches to workforce redesign.
- Fair selection processes, consultation and redeployment considerations.
- Severance pack design.
- Managing complex and higher-risk cases.
- Practical lessons from large-scale transformation and redundancy programmes.
- The impact of AI and its involvement within the change process.
Through real-life scenarios and peer discussion, delegates will gain practical tools, updated insights and confidence to navigate organisational change effectively while avoiding the mistakes that can derail transformation programmes.
This session is particularly relevant for:
- HR leaders and those responsible for restructuring, operating model change or cost transformation initiatives
- HR Business Partners
- Employee Relations professionals
- Organisation Design specialists
Places are expected to fill quickly given the level of restructuring activity currently taking place across the sector. As places are limited, a maximum of two representatives per organisation is preferred.
