We're speaking with a lot of people who are going through redundancy. These are some of the things they tell us about their needs. 💚 Transparency - they need leaders to be open and honest about the process from the start and at every stage 💚 Wellbeing support - the whole staff team is affected by redundancies, whether their role is at risk or not. Making space to listen and signposting people to employee assistance programmes for counselling and other wellbeing support is important. 💚 Job search support - doing everything you can to help someone being made redundant to find their next role and land well in it. 💚 Consultation - in difficult processes like redundancy, all staff need to be consulted throughout the process so changes to communication and support can be made as needed. 💚 Empathy - overall, everyone involved needs empathy. It's a really tough experience for staff whose roles are made redundant, but also hard for the rest of the team and for leaders and HR teams overseeing the process.

It's been shocking to hear about companies like Meta, Walmart and Amazon scaling back or cancelling their diversity, equity and inclusion work. We're really concerned about this shift. Can you help give us a sense about whether it could happen in the non-profit sector by answering this poll or commenting below?
