Publisher's Synopsis
This book facilitates the transfer of experience from those already working in the field of unemployment counselling to newcomers. It provides a guide for personnel managers and others charged with organising redundancy as to what can be provided at relatively little cost for people whose jobs must cease.;The purposes of this book are to place managers' experience of redundancy in a social context; to enable redundant managers and their advisers to understand that certain psychological reactions are normal rather than idiosyncratic; to encourage unemployment to be regarded as a basis for career change; to show how best to learn a strategy for getting a new job; and to give practical advice to those setting up support groups for unemployed managers and professional staff.
