One in three jobseekers believe the HR department of their previous employer mishandled their redundancy, according to a survey.
Findings from the survey, by careerplan4.me, which provides jobseeking support for professionals, include:
- 29% of respondents rated the handling of their redundancy as poor
- 22% of their ex-employers didn't have an HR department
- Just over half were given no extra support
- Just 20% were given outplacement services
Careerplan4.me's Richard Banks said: "Far too many HR departments aren't rising to the challenge of carrying out redundancies as well as possible, which potentially leaves those made redundant with damaging views about the organisation. Redundancy survivors may also dislike the way colleagues have been treated. It's a PR disaster waiting to happen."
