People may feel ‘uneasy’ discussing it but the industry adds ‘considerable value’
Quilter has unveiled a support hub for financial advisers to help conversations with clients around all aspects of redundancy.
The hub has been launched in anticipation of an increase in people being made redundant as the economic fallout of the covid-19 pandemic takes place.
According to the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS), the number of redundancies in October to December 2020 reached 12.3 per 1,000 employees, up 8.4 per 1,000 on the year, and is expected to rise as government support schemes are withdrawn.
The scheme will feature resources for advisers to recommend and use with clients covering topics from navigating redundancy to how to create a growth mindset, and the importance of adaptability.
