Practical HR project support
REDUNDANCY & RESTRUCTURING
Managing Change with Clarity and Care

Support can include:
Restructuring and redundancy planning
Business rationale and project timelines
Selection pools, criteria and scoring
Consultation letters and meeting documentation
Manager briefing and meeting support
Suitable alternative employment and redeployment
Redundancy calculations and outcome letters
Appeals and implementation support
Every project is tailored to the size, structure and circumstances of the business.
TUPE SUPPORT
When employees transfer between organisations, careful planning and clear communication are essential.
MPP supports businesses through the practical People aspects of TUPE, helping both incoming and outgoing employers understand their responsibilities, prepare the necessary information and manage consultation and communication effectively.
Support can include:
Initial TUPE planning and risk assessment
Identifying affected employees
Employee liability information
Due diligence and workforce information
Consultation planning and communications
Measures, letters and supporting documentation
Employee and representative meetings
Post-transfer integration and workforce planning
Where specialist legal advice is required, MPP can work alongside your employment lawyer to ensure the legal, People and practical workstreams remain aligned.
Supporting a Smooth Transfer
ORGANISATIONAL DESIGN & PEOPLE PLANNING
As a business grows or changes direction, its organisational structure must evolve with it. Unclear responsibilities, duplicated activity and management gaps can quickly affect performance and decision-making.
MPP works with leadership teams to assess whether their organisational structure, roles, capabilities and workforce plans remain aligned with the current and future needs of the business.
Support can include:
Reviewing current organisational structures
Clarifying roles, responsibilities and reporting lines
Identifying capability, capacity and leadership gaps
Designing organisation charts and future structures
Workforce and succession planning
Job description and role-profile development
Supporting consultation where roles are affected
Planning structures for growth, transformation or new openings
The result is a practical People structure that supports immediate priorities, future growth and longer-term business plans.
Building the Right Structure for What Comes Next
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
Turning Expectations into Better Performance
Effective performance management should provide clarity, encourage accountability and help employees succeed. When expectations, processes or management capability are inconsistent, performance issues can become difficult and time-consuming.
MPP helps businesses strengthen their approach to performance management, build manager confidence and establish practical processes that support better performance. We can also provide focused support where individual performance or capability concerns become particularly complex.
Support can include:
Reviewing existing performance management processes
Developing practical appraisal and review frameworks
Setting clear objectives and performance standards
Creating performance improvement plans
Developing manager guidance and practical toolkits
Coaching managers through performance conversations
Supporting formal capability processes
Building manager confidence and consistency
The approach is proportionate, commercially grounded and designed to help managers address concerns confidently, fairly and consistently.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS
There are occasions when an agreed departure may provide the most constructive outcome for both the employer and employee.
MPP supports employers in planning and managing settlement discussions sensitively and professionally, helping manage risk, maintain confidentiality and bring difficult situations to a clear resolution.
Support can include:
Assessing whether a settlement approach is appropriate
Considering alternative options and potential risks
Preparing for protected or without-prejudice conversations
Planning conversations and supporting documentation
Helping determine proposed terms and practical arrangements
Supporting discussions and negotiations
Agreeing references, announcements and exit arrangements
Coordinating the process with employment lawyers
MPP provides practical HR support throughout the process and can work alongside your employment lawyer where specialist legal advice or drafting is required. Employees must obtain independent legal advice before a settlement agreement can become legally binding.
