Restructuring and redundancy plans
Protect the decision-makers. Preserve cohesion. Hold the deadlines.
Why work with us
A redundancy plan, a site closure or the renegotiation of a company agreement exposes leadership to considerable social, media and legal pressure. Our role is to support the leadership discreetly through the negotiation with employee representative bodies, to reach a robust social agreement without escalation and within the legal deadlines.
Situations we handle
- ✦ Redundancy plans (PSE, under French law)
- ✦ Full or partial closure of a site
- ✦ Renegotiating company agreements (working time, profit sharing, conditions)
- ✦ Reorganisations with role cuts or transfers
- ✦ Emerging from industrial action or an occupation
How we work
Our approach, step by step
Social diagnosis and mapping of the actors
We analyse the union balance of power, the real motivations of each organisation, and the non-negotiable points. That avoids false starts and unintended provocations.
Preparing the leadership
We prepare the leadership's spokespeople: stance, messages, answers to the predictable demands, handling emotion in the room. A well-prepared leadership does not make the mistakes that feed conflict.
Negotiation strategy with the representatives
We define the sequencing of the sessions, which concessions to make and when, and where to hold firm. The aim is a signed agreement within the legal deadlines, without setting a precedent that harms the company.
Managing media exposure
Some restructurings attract the media or local political actors. We help contain the exposure and protect the reputation of the company and its leaders.
