When you have an employee or employees leaving your business, providing them with structure, guidance and support can help ease the feelings of uncertainty and stress that come with being made redundant.
At the same time, providing this guidance and being viewed as a supportive employer can also help preserve morale across the wider business – by providing reassurance that your company is still invested in the future of its employees, whether they remain in the business or are made redundant.

Help Staff Plan for Lifestyle Change
These days, planning for the future can mean anything from retirement to retraining to a total lifestyle change. At CDL, we offer programmes that help your employees to consider, and then prepare for, their options for the future.
Retirement
At CDL, our range of retirement solutions provide your employees with the knowledge and resources they need to identify readiness for retirement, plan for a lifestyle change, create greater work-life balance, or to financially and legally plan for the future.
For some, this might mean a complete step back from employment, for others, a new phase of blending leisure time with casual or part-time work.
Setting Up Your Own Business
When an individual is impacted by redundancy, they may consider small business management options such as independent consulting, contracting, freelancing, or buying a new or existing business or franchise.
CDL’s entrepreneurship solutions look at ‘fit for business ownership’ – ensuring the employee is making an informed decision and one which is not being triggered by the emotional impact of their job loss. We do this by providing the fundamentals of business planning, analysing competitor activity and developing a business profile – All key components of entrepreneurship coaching.
