Workplace experts Acas have published a new study into how employees feel about delivering news of redundancies and redeployment to their colleagues.
Recent figures released by Acas have revealed that demand for Acas' early dispute resolution service, Pre-Claim Conciliation (PCC), rose by a third (34%) in 2011/12, meaning that Acas dealt with 23,777 cases, 6000 more cases than the previous year. This has resulted in thousands of people avoiding the need to go to an employment tribunal.
In its latest Work Audit report, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has looked at the impact of the jobs recession that began in 2008 on employers, workers and the economy as a whole.
The first quarter of 2012 will be the most difficult quarter for the jobs market since the recession, as the number of private sector firms surveyed planning to make redundancies increases.
