Success story of
Afnor UK Limited

AFNOR is an international services delivery network that revolves around standardisation, certification, industry press, and open-learning courses. 

The Client

Afnor UK were looking to embark on a restructure of the business and contacted Neathouse Partners looking for assistance with how to approach this.

It can be challenging to assess how to undertake a restructure, and whether redundancies can be avoided, and if not, how a consultation process can be structured to meet business aims.

How we helped

We provided commercial and pragmatic advice on the restructure which gave clear options for avoiding the need for a full redundancy consultation.

The alternative would have resulted in a likely long and drawn-out redundancy selection process which would have likely detrimentally impacted the business.

Benefits and outcomes

Afnor UK are now able to operate under the new structure, which has led to increased efficiency and more effective operations.
We know that organisations like theirs have many factors to control so by using our outsourced HR & legal departments, they can concentrate on what matters to them without having to worry about any legal issues should they occur.
If you want to improve your own business’ success and general employee satisfaction, then you might want to consider our fixed-fee HR services.
