Marks Morning Business Show January 29th

Making someone redundant is never easy, but how it’s done matters more than most people realise. In this episode, I talk about the responsibility business owners and leaders carry when they have to let someone go. Behind every redundancy is a person with hopes, dreams, responsibilities, and a future, and for a period of time, that decision will make life harder for them.I discuss why treating people well during redundancy isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s the human thing to do. From offering support like upskilling opportunities, CV help, or making introductions to new roles, there are ways to soften the impact and show genuine care.Redundancy doesn’t have to be handled coldly or mechanically. We are all human, and how we treat people in difficult moments stays with them. They may not thank you today, but they may remember how you treated them in the future.As I often say, you never know who you’ll meet again in life. Treat people with respect, dignity, and kindness — especially when the conversation is hard.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.
