Redundancy affects people differently. Naturally - it depends on the things that make us unique, our circumstances, experiences, personalities, career stages, our whole approach to life and work. For some of us work is a means to an end, for others it underpins our whole identity and self-esteem. For some it's a threat, for others it's an opportunity.
So, when we face redundancy we react differently. And the first thing we need to deal with is that reaction. We need to 'get our head around it'. This participative virtual classroom session is designed to help you do just that.
