🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A platform providing standardized, jurisdiction-specific checklists for employees navigating redundancy consultations.
  2. A calculator tool that estimates the fair market value of settlement agreements based on tenure, role, and local labor laws.
  3. A directory of affordable, specialized employment law mediators for workers facing corporate restructuring.

Real voices

“I have recently been notified about potential redundancy of my role. Been with the employer for 5+ years. I am the only one in this role in the UK rest of the similar roles are outside UK. Is it worth going through the redundancy consultation process, instead of upfront agreeing for early settlement?”
