Although we love talking about the best aspects of the food industry, we don’t shy away from the difficult ones either. So with a recession in the air and several major companies announcing big layoffs, on this episode of the Oh For Food’s Sake podcast, we’re talking about redundancy.
We give you practical advice on how to cope with the emotional upheaval of being made redundant. Our tips include dealing with the stress and heartache of redundancy and what you need to do for yourself before you start looking for a new job. We then cover how to tap into the power of your network so you can land a job that you actually want to have. At the end of the episode, we also list the experts that you should consult when you’re being made redundant to make sure that there aren’t any nasty surprises on the way.
At this time of uncertainty, we need to tackle the stigma around redundancy. With that in mind, please share this episode of the Oh For Food’s Sake podcast with anyone in your network who’s worried about redundancy, regardless of which industry they work in. You can also get a lot more of our advice and insights by subscribing to the podcast.
