Life After Redundancy: Your 5 Exciting Options

Facing redundancy during a recession can be a particularly stressful time and you may not be sure of what your next move should be.

Facing redundancy during a recession can be a really difficult time for people and we understand your current employer might not have the money to continue supporting a large workforce. Finding a new job isn't always easy, with businesses reducing their pay nationally, it can seem an impossible task.

This is especially problematic if you have lost your full time job, as your redundancy money may only cover you for a short period of time.

However, with this negative does come positive opportunities for you to progress with a new job title and even a new career path you may not have previously considered.

Why do people face redundancy?

List some of the reasons why people face redundancy and discuss what the company offers them once they are made redundant => e.g redundancy pay package.

Redundancy is never nice to be on the receiving end of however it can be for a number of reasons. There are a few key reasons a worker might be made redundant:

• Your job is no longer necessary as a result of new technology/systems
• Your job role is no longer necessary in the business
• Costs need to be reduced which leads to staff cuts
• The business is terminated or moving locations

Workers usually receive a redundancy package, where they will receive some money to support them during this time. However, the money they will receive is not sustainable long-term.

Don't get caught up with the same job, find a new one!

Searching for new jobs doesn't always have to be overwhelming. You can always choose to look into a new sector you haven't previously considered. It's never too late to reconsider and decide on a new career if you find something more suitable for your lifestyle.

Remember to keep your CV up to date with all your latest experience that may be relevant to a new job role and boost your chances of swiftly getting re-employed during the selection process.

Retrain in a new skill

It can be refreshing to pursue a new career path as you will gain a lot of knowledge and new skills along the way, as well as being able to carry over your previously acquired transferable skills to help make this process easier.

Finding a new career path also forces you to step outside of comfort zones and promotes individual growth while working in a new sector.

Volunteering

Perhaps you'd like to use this time to give back to your local community and start volunteering. Not only is volunteering beneficial to the wider community, but is also a great way to develop your skills and looks great on a CV to employers. Whether it's helping a local charity, or even helping out an understaffed facility temporarily to give them that extra man power, volunteering should never be underestimated. It can help you get the necessary work experience you need for a specific role, leading to you being hired for your perfect job.

Set up your own business and create yourself a new job

Alternatively, if you'd rather not go down the route of employment, it could be a great idea to start your own business. Never again do you need to worry about adhering to a notice period or being concerned that you will be made redundant.

This may also be beneficial as you get more freedom to choose who you hire and assess whether people will be the right employees for your business.
