STAMFORD-based human resources consultancy Recrion is actively helping those employees at risk of redundancy by giving them free careers advice and access to training.The company has joined forces with the European Social Fund and the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) to create a Response to Redundancy action plan for workers in the East of England.
Known as R2R, it provides up to 1,000 per employee to cover career guidance, skills assessment, explore career options, training funding, vocational qualifications and workshops to help candidates match and market themselves to new and hidden opportunities.
“As with all government funding, not everyone will be eligible but many will be. The key to the funding is that we need to move quickly to help those affected by redundancy as soon as it is announced,” said Recrion director Katherine Wiid.
“Response to Redundancy is a real, well-timed and practical solution that allows sensitive employers to help staff resettle and retrain in new vocations and directions.”
n If you’re at risk of redundancy now or you know someone who is, or you’re an employer considering redundancies and would like to know how to help your employees, call Katherine Wiid on 01780 494910 for free advice, or visit www.recrion. co.uk/free to find out if you are eligible for the scheme.
