- Redundancies An Unexpected Opportunity for Independence
The effects of redundancies run deep. It not only has a direct impact on the individual, but also their family, past colleagues and the employer. It is a difficult transition process for all. Even if it is an expected or planned redundancy, the emotion of grief, fear and hope all blend together. The fact is that individuals face a decision being made for them that it is beyond their control.
For an individual faced with this change, it is important to keep perspective. It is not all bad news and can in fact be an unexpected opportunity. For many, job security has provided safety and employment has taken precedence over other goals in life- like working for yourself.
