The US litigation culture has arrived in the UK, with employment issues the key battleground for individuals seeking compensation and the media seeking sensational insights into organisations' cultures.
At the same time, downsizing, rightsizing and redundancy programmes have become a harsh corporate reality in a highly competitive marketplace.
Partner PR can help you deliver the right messages in times or organisational change. We have managed communications relating to factory closures, mass redundancies, or industrial disputes, and ensured our clients' voices are heard and understood in employment tribunals and other legal proceedings.
We work closely with HR professionals and lawyers in employment matters, abiding by the many rules and regulations relating to the rights of employees, but ensuring our clients' objectives are achieved efficiently.
- For a household goods manufacturer, we devised the communications approach to facilitate a business acquisition.
- For an insurance services company, we developed a programme to communicate a major restructuring of its business and resulting job losses.
- For a major metals manufacturer, we managed the announcement of a major factory closure.
- For a financial services company, we handled a high-profile employment dispute.
- For a professional services company, we have ensured that the media understood its position on allegations of sexual misconduct by management.
