Life After Redundancy Toolkit

Redundancy affects far more than your job. It can leave you trying to understand an unfamiliar process, manage your finances and work out what comes next, all at the same time.

The 'Life After Redundancy Toolkit' provides clear, practical support from the first conversation through to your job search and interviews. It has been written in plain English for people who want straightforward information, useful questions and tools they can actually use.

Inside the toolkit, you’ll find:

• Guidance on consultation, selection, redundancy pay, notice and alternative employment

• Questions and checklists to help you prepare for meetings

• Final-pay and settlement agreement checklists

• Practical money, benefits and household planning

• Support to identify what you want from your next role

• CV and LinkedIn guidance and exercises

• Job-search, recruiter and networking templates

• Interview preparation, STAR guidance and answer-building worksheets

• Application, achievement and offer trackers

• A practical 30-day reset plan

The toolkit was created by R Dugdale - a CIPD-qualified HR, Talent and Learning professional who has supported people through recruitment, careers and organisational change, and has also experienced redundancy herself.

You will receive the toolkit as a downloadable PDF for your personal use.

Please note: this toolkit provides general HR and job-search information. It is not personal legal, financial, tax or benefits advice.
