Businesses are reminded that redeployment to similar job roles or different divisions within the business must be considered and explored before redundancy is placed on the table. A recent case in the construction industry highlights that it is not considered unreasonable for businesses to provide retraining (in this case 10 weeks retraining) to ensure that the redeployed workers will be effective in their new role.
