Support is available from Acas North West
What are your options?
You know you need to take action to reduce costs but haven’t yet decided what to do.
Acas can:
Arrange a confidential face to face discussion with an experienced Adviser to talk through the implications of varying contracts, lay offs, short time working, redundancy and tightening up on your procedures. This service is free of charge and meetings can be arranged either at your premises or offsite.
If you need to make efficiency savings we can help you work through what these might be, involving your employees and their representatives at all stages to minimise difficulties later on. ACAS can talk through examples of work we have done elsewhere to help organisations identify and implement savings for example by changing shift patterns, overtime arrangements, or eliminating inefficient working methods.
ACAS can work with you to improve productivity for example by managing attendance more effectively, managing performance and managing change, working with emplyees to identify efficiencies.
