Change creates noise, confusion, and uncertainty. So is it any surprise employee performance dips? Our coaching and mentoring solutions cuts through the chaos, helping your people stay focused, resilient, and effective when it matters most.
Help employees adapt to new ways of working during the inevitably rocky time that comes from two companies combining with on-demand coaching, mentoring, and group workshops.
For those being made redundant, we offer a 3-session coaching programme to help them cope with change and plan for what’s next.
For your employees who remain, we can help them adapt to new ways of working and come to terms with the transitional time.
Reverse mentoring gives your seasoned leaders a direct line to fresh thinking, helping them stay ahead of digital shifts, emerging trends, and the changing expectations of a modern workforce. Leadership is not about hierarchy, it’s about staying relevant.
Give your employees the ad-hoc support they need without being attached to a specific programme and getting locked into set licenses.
Support your redundant employees to find new opportunities and those left behind to adapt to their new workload.
Bring together groups of 5 to 50+ for guided spaces where people can reflect, express themselves, and grow individually and collectively. It’s not just a conversation, it’s a catalyst.
Retain internal knowledge and reduce silos to help with digital transformation or mergers and acquisitions.
Hold leadership accountable with a reverse mentoring initiative and help them adapt to a new digital landscape.
Coaching and mentoring can offer external, objective advice to employees during times of change. This can help them navigate a new way of working.
Redundancy can be a challenging time for everyone involved. Here are our key principles to make redundancy manageable and kind:
1. Clear is kind: Make sure you communicate with clarity and as much transparency as possible. During stressful times, you may need to repeat certain messages and flag many questions. This is natural. Be ready to over-communicate, repeat yourself, and make space for the emotional as well as tactical challenges.
2. Give, AND GET emotional support: Redundancy affects everyone: leadership, those leaving, and those left behind. It’s not all on you to support your employees, so make sure you have structures in place for yourself, and for them, to find the emotional support to navigate the transition. (Our Boost coaching packs are ideal for this kind of event).
3. Offer practical resources: Although the redundancy itself is always unpleasant, HOW you handle it can have a massive impact on your employees, your culture, and your reputation. Ensure you give your employees clear, structured, tactical support. One of their biggest stressors in the uncertainty. By giving them structured, practical tools and ideas, you can make the transition as smooth as possible. A redundancy care pack can be invaluable at this time.
After redundancy, many companies provide support through outplacement services, career coaching, or counselling. You might also find resources for updating your CV, preparing for interviews, or even learning new skills.
Supporting an employee after redundancy involves more than just offering severance. Providing a listening ear, offering guidance on next steps, and directing them to external resources like coaching or financial advice can help them navigate the transition.
At Sanctus, we offer Boost coaching packs: a 3-session coaching process you can offer your employees who have been made redundant. This impartial, confidential space can be a powerful form of support to help them land on their feet.
If you’re being made redundant, it’s important to get clarity on the process and your next steps. Ask about the timeline, your severance package, and whether any outplacement or career support is available. You might also want to inquire about the reasoning behind the decision and what opportunities there could be in the future.
