Did you know?
According to the OECD’s latest economic outlook, global growth projections have dropped from 3.3% in 2024 to 2.9% in both 2025 and 2026. These external market forces are impacting Organisations and often creating a need to restructure to ensure optimisation of people resources to support delivery of organisational goals.
With reports of reduced business volumes or cancellation of key contracts, some organisations may have to make the difficult decision of implementing redundancies to adapt to these market changes. Both processes, while sometimes necessary, are fraught with legal complexities and potential risks if not handled with precision and care under Irish employment law.
51% of Organisations surveyed in Adare’s latest HR Barometer 9.1 Report said that the main causes of disputes or employment issues were caused by poor communication. Along with compliance and clear procedure, communication is also key to reduce the risk when going through an Organisational restructure and redundancy.
Gain an in-depth look at the legal framework, compliance requirements and potential pitfalls associated with organisational restructuring and redundancy processes, ensuring you can navigate them confidently and effectively.
