Bolte Bridge at sunset, redundancy support workshops in Melbourne

Redundancy support that prepares your people for what comes next.

A restructure is hard on the people leaving and on the managers who have to deliver the news. Our workshops give impacted staff a clear, practical plan for their next role, delivered by someone who sees how hiring decisions are made every week.

Who It’s For

Employers going through a restructure, redundancy or site closure who want to support their people properly on the way out. We work with HR, People and Culture teams and leadership to fit the timing and tone to what your staff are going through.

What We Cover

Every workshop is tailored to the roles, levels and industries affected. Content can include:

  • The emotional side of redundancy, which most programs skip: the shock, the loss of identity and routine, and how to look after yourself so you search from a steady place

  • Getting ready to search in a market that has changed, especially if you haven’t looked for work in years

  • How hiring decisions are made now, and what recruiters and hiring managers look for in the first 30 seconds

  • Positioning your experience on your resume and LinkedIn so it matches the roles you want

  • Finding roles that are never advertised, and approaching your network without it feeling awkward

  • Interview preparation, including how to talk about a redundancy with confidence

  • Managing the transition: time, money and momentum while you search

What your people walk away with:

  • Confidence in how to navigate the current job market

  • A clear understanding of the roles they should be applying for

  • A professional brand they can take to market, with a resume and LinkedIn that reflect who they are now

  • Confidence in interviewing, and in accepting the right role

  • Clarity on what they actually want in their next role, because after a redundancy it has usually changed

How It Works

Each program is built around your restructure, not a fixed course.

  1. A short call to understand your restructure, your people and your timeframe

  2. We tailor the content to the roles, levels and industries affected

  3. Erika delivers the workshop on site or online, from half a day to four days

  4. Optional one-on-one coaching for staff who want extra support

Delivered Australia-wide. Travel and accommodation are charged at cost only for workshops outside Victoria that run longer than one day.

Pricing: your fee is set at the free scoping call, once we know your numbers, how much of the content is built from scratch, and whether it’s a one-off session or a series. The quote covers content built for your people, participant materials and delivery.

Erika has spent 14 years on the frontline of recruitment, so participants hear from someone who hires, not someone reading from a script.

She has also been made redundant twice. She knows how it feels from the inside, and she knows what it takes to get back on your feet.
