ROLE REDUNDANCY
have you been stood down?
is your role at risk?
has your role been made redundant?
If this is you, you’re not alone. In Australia, up to 6 million workers, almost half of the workforce, will be adversely impacted by COVID in 2020. While it may not feel like it now, what we do know is that it will be okay. While jobs may change, careers will continue. For those who choose to take this opportunity to stop, reflect and plan out the next phases of life and career, there are real opportunities to reposition, retool, pivot and reset your career in the right direction.
Having supported people through three major market downturns, we’ve learned a lot about what you can do to ensure that your career moves forward. Here we share our tools and insights to help you make the most of this opportunity.
