Ensure staff transfers are conducted legally and fairly
Supporting you with experience and expertise in TUPE
When business transformation involves making major changes to your logistics operations and the often complex and difficult challenge of transferring staff, TDG will support you all the way. We provide specialist expertise and experienced personnel who will ensure that the process fulfils all legal responsibilities including those required under TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006).
We know the ins and outs of the law, but keep our focus firmly on people. This is because staff transfers need to be handled fairly and respectfully, not just adhering to the letter of the law. Your people are your biggest asset, and we follow proven processes to ensure two-way communication lines remain open and positive, and your staff remain committed members of your team.
When there is a strong business case analysis for change, TDG follows a rigorous six stage process to ensure staff transfers are handled correctly and felt to be fair:
- Clarification meeting
- TUPE acknowledgement followed by a staff announcement
- Disclosure of information
- Joint consultation, including a TUPE Q&A sheet and presentation of pensions
- Individual consultation
- Transfer of employment
When change is involved, and when that change involves people, you can’t afford to make mistakes or allow misunderstandings to develop. With TDG’s experienced team on your side, you can face this challenge with confidence. We have effectively managed major staff transfers for companies including Kellogg’s, Vita Cellular UK and Tesco, and we can do the same for you.
