Retrenchment is not undertaken lightly…
Organisations do not lightly contemplate retrenchments for reasons of cost, disruption to business, negative market perceptions and loss of staff morale.

Retrenchment often becomes a matter of rigorously following check boxes and steps …… with the consequence that we sometimes forget that we are dealing with people
Rigorous legal compliance is required……..

The impact on staff is high….
Initially there is panic amongst ALL STAFF until it is clarified who will and will not be affected

Retrenchment impacts widely ….• Retrenched people see this as a “dark night of
terror”• Unaffected or successful staff have
tremendous feelings of guilt towards their affected colleagues
• Retrenched people influence unaffected staff, as well as customers; unions and staff associations; press and the community at large
![Page 6: Life after Retrenchement training](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55782fedd8b42a9b438b5140/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The result is a changed workplace….
• The retrenched staff are very emotional – anger and fear reduce their rationality
• The “survivors” feel they can no longer trust management and fear the next round of retrenchments
• Management are under great pressure to meet production targets with a de-motivated workforce

Have to be able to demonstrate that actions have been taken to mitigate the adverse effects of the retrenchment
Legal processes have to be rigorously followed ……

• Deal with their high emotionality• Develop their ability to bounce back• Deal with their changed financial
circumstances• Take the first steps to either find another
job or start their own business
Best practice is to assist retrenched people……
