Season 2 - Episode 9 Navigating large scale redundancies - lessons from British Steel and Rolls Royce
Manage episode 516604108 series 3670904
In this episode I speak to Pete Colby, Chief Mediator at Pragmatism UK, about leading large-scale redundancy programmes with empathy, integrity, and pragmatism. Drawing on decades in HR at British Steel and Rolls-Royce, as well as his own experience of redundancy, Pete shares real stories of managing thousands of redundancies. We talk about what went well, what went wrong, and what he learned about the human impact behind every decision. Together, we explore how genuine consultation, trust-based relationships with trade unions, and courageous leadership can transform even the toughest restructuring programmes.
