Recruitment is the systematic process by which organizations find and hire the best-qualified candidates (from within or outside of an organization) for a job opening, in a timely and cost-effective manner. The process includes a thorough examination of job requirements, an effective strategy for attracting candidates, and the selection of individuals who fit the job and organizational culture.
Services we offer
Our Consultants at The Labour Consultant Group are well versed in the correct procedure that needs to be followed by employers to ensure that the retrenchment process is procedurally and substantively fair. Retrenchments differs from dismissal for disciplinary reasons or resignation initiated by the employee. When an employee is retrenched, it's typically not due to any fault or performance issues on their part but rather due to factors beyond their control, such as changes in the company's business needs or economic conditions.
Retrenchment processes often involve legal requirements, such as providing notice periods, consulting with affected employees or their representatives, and offering severance packages or other forms of assistance to help them transition to new employment. In many jurisdictions, including South Africa, there are specific laws and regulations governing the retrenchment process to ensure fairness and protect the rights of employees.
We help by taking lead in the process to ensure that the best outcome is achieved.
