The planned changes are informed by the feedback we've received from individuals who have been through the redeployment process.
We can now provide more detail about what the changes mean for those who enter the redeployment pool and for recruiting managers.
Changes in the redeployment process for staff at risk
At-risk employees will access vacancies through a redeployment job board. Access to this job board will be restricted to employees in the redeployment pool and involves setting up job alerts for vacancies relevant to their skills, experience, and grade. When a new vacancy is posted, at-risk employees will be notified by email and can decide on whether to apply. All roles will be advertised for five days. This will replace the current matching process, which is more restrictive to the visibility of vacancies and a poor employee experience.
Full details on the redeployment process can be found in our redeployment guidance.
Information for recruiting managers.

This supports our statutory obligation to seek to redeploy wherever possible. Our recent changes allowing internal and external advertising concurrently means there is no significant impact on the hiring timeline.
In a small number of cases, there may be reason to operate outside of this five-day window. These cases would need to meet one or more of the following conditions:
Instances of the above should be first raised with your HR Business Partner.
